Thanks for theses nice pictures, it’s always a pleasure to see some live shots of the U101.

  thanks for your admire,my u101 original is cerelon 600MHz,i upgrade to 1.2g banias,the performance is more grate!! :twisted:

I’m sure it is !

I didn’t notice your devilish upgrade, altough i suspect something since you post pictures of cpu-z in action but thought that “banias” was the name of the U101 special intel processor (didn’t look at the cpu speed !)

Did you take some shots of your upgrade ? It would be nice to see the inner parts of a U101

The U101 keep their value over ages (hard to find a mint one below 1100€) I guess yours is now priceless !

how can you upgrade this unti to 1.2?! I wouldn’t have thought that was possible.

very simple i feel my u101 is too slowly,so i change my c600 processor

That’s pretty cool! The battery life shouldn’t really suffer either since the Banias-based Pentium M runs more efficiently than the Celeron M chips.

Where did you get a spare 1.2GHz Banias chip? I would love to get one but I don’t know of any place that sells them.

:wink:

in taiwan to get the cpu bga chip is very easy :oops:
i have already upgrade my tr & t & u101 to 1.2g…

I need to move to Taiwan! I’d love to be able to buy some of these chips for testing purposes.

Very intriguing. How easy was the chip swap for the TR? Are you able to share with us a tutorial?  :wink:

TR2E C800 UPGRADE TO “DOTHAN 1.2G L2=2MB”,THE PERFORMANCE IS LIKE TX

Dude,
gimmee!
We need a tutorial! Is it easy? Do you need to solder things, is it a straight swap? If I can do this I am buying a U101 immediately and doing it. Can you sell me a chip ?

Thanks for the screen captures and pics. Could you please elaborate the TR and U101 chip swap in detail if possible?

Sounds sweet for the TR, but what about the U101? I’m guessing by the guys post it’s socketed too, and $239 US is quite cool to take the 600 Banias to 1.2! Then the U101 is a pretty rocking little machine.

:(  you are not in taiwan!! if you are in taiwan,i can help you to upgrade your vaio…. :oops:
in taiwan,i help much people upgrade tr to 1.2 dothan!!

Hey mate, so what if were not in taiwan… i am sure more than half of the ppl on this forum are not there.. we just dream about it :D .. but you can help us all out by giving us a detailed tutotrial. Think of this this way.. youll be spreading your knowledge globally. You can be our ‘chip supplier’ . Im sure ull get heaps of orders, PPl are gonna start falling inlove with their TR’s again. Screw the TX ( no pun intended to ppl that already have one, its a nice machine :wink: )

Yea man i agree, Id have to look into getting one of those baby’s myself granted this new revelation comes into affect.
