Official Sony Vaio F Series Owners Thread *Part 6*

Why not? And what are the benefits of the Adobe screen?

I believe all are Adobe but 100% RGB means that you can see all specter of RGB standard colors while sRGB standard is small RGB and it has not all colors. But it looks fine if you never saw full RGB or if you do not work with high quality photos.

Hey guys,

I've got a question regarding memory modules installed in F11M1E. Sony installed 1066 MHz modules, but is it possible to install two 2x4 GB 1333 MHz modules - will they be supported or they are limited by CPU/chipset.

[James D]

if you have i5 processor (I suppose you do) then the only reason to buy 2x4 1333 memory is if you have 6GB or less and there is no price difference between 1066 and 1333. I you have I5 your 1333 RAM will be downclocked to 1066.

I always noticed that the charging port on the computer was very loose every time i would plug it in to be charged since i bought the laptop and opened it up.

But now, the charger won't even stay into the computer unless i wrap the cord around the monitor for it to be charged and it can take up to 5 minutes until i can finally find the right spot for the charger to go in. Do you guys think that it is the actual charging port inside the laptop or is it just the charger thats broken?

I have a Sony Vaio F series VPCF1390x

Does anyone else have this problem and know the solution?

I'm using i5. i7 got 1333 MHz support?

You should call Sony to get that fixed. Your computer must still be under warranty since it has to be less than a year old. Can't tell without seeing it which part the problem is with, but the warranty should cover both unless there's some damage that makes it obvious it was dropped or something that is not covered. Assuming that is not the case, I wouldn't mess with it anymore and would call Sony before the power problems cause other damage to your computer.

Yes, it does.

Yes, if you plan to upgrade to i7 somewhen you should buy 1333 and maybe even HyperX 1600 if it has low timings on 533 JEDEC

[Dantei]

Is it even worth upgrading? I'm satisfied with my i5 and the old ones (i7) were pretty poor perfomance/cool.

[James D]

Sure. If you will have free 200-250 bucks in next 2 years, if you already bought SSD, if you don't care about time your laptop will work on battery and if... if you need more performance (actually it is the main and only reason to buy an I7) then it is definitely worth to buy i7-920 or i7-940. I know that there are different heat-thinks for i5 and i7 but you can either buy one on eBay or try if it will work cool with your i7. Still you should think about upgrade in couple years if you'll need performance and when these old processors become cheap enough. But 1333 RAM should work fine. (I heard no BIOS limitations or other crap considering RAM in VAIO F).
