The Centrino in the other one is need base 478. There is a really big different. And the Geforce4 420Go has 16MB VRAM. The Radeon 345 IGP has only shared memory.<BR /><BR />BTW: Radeon IGP 345M is the wrong name. The real name is 340M.<BR />The 5 means f*** Sony edition and stands for driver incompatibility.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 May 2005 07:40:54 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-fr215e-pcg-fr395ep-same-motherboard/m-p/126831#M110025 seb21__ 2005-05-12T07:40:54Z Re: PCG-FR215E & PCG-FR395EP, same motherboard? https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-fr215e-pcg-fr395ep-same-motherboard/m-p/126832#M110026 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I just can't see this working.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 May 2005 16:18:01 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-fr215e-pcg-fr395ep-same-motherboard/m-p/126832#M110026 kee-lo_ 2005-05-12T16:18:01Z
