*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions.  *2 If memory modules of the same capacity are installed to both of the two memory module slots, computer will run in dual 
channel mode and provide better performance.  *3 By removing two pre-installed 512MB memory modules and adding two 1GB memory modules.  *4 Includes necessary data for recovery 
(setting back to initial shipment settings) in the hard disk drive consuming approximately 5GB in size.  *5 This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc Digital 
Audio standard specifications (CD Standard). A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. Please be 
aware that the audio side (non-DVD side) of a DualDisc may not play on this product because it does not conform to the CD Standard.  *6 HyperMemory™ is calculated as the cumulative 
total of local and system memory used by the Visual Processing Unit (VPU) intended for use in the processing and creation of 3D and other images. The amount of HyperMemory™ available 
is determined by the amount of local graphics memory and installed system memory.  *7 High-speed/Full-speed/Low speed compatible.  *8 Does not support MagicGate copyright 
protection technology. Does not support Memory Stick with capacity of 2GB and over. Compatibility confirmed with Sony branded “Memory Stick” media only.  *9 MagicGate copyright 
protection technology cannot be applied to Memory Stick PRO.  *10 Deploying IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g products on the same wireless network may reduce the communication 
speed due to radio interference. Taking this into consideration, the IEEE 802.11g products are designed to reduce the communication speed to ensure communication with IEEE 802.11b 
products. When the communication speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the access point may increase the communication speed.  *11 The communication 
speed varies depending on the distance between communication devices, existence of obstacles between such devices, the device configuration, the radio conditions, and the software in 
use. In addition, communication may be cut off depending on the radio conditions.  *12 This product may only function with a genuine Sony battery designed for this model.  *13 Estimated 
battery life (under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method (ver.1.0).) When the power-saving mode is on. Actual battery life may vary with different operating conditions and settings. 
For further details, please visit vaio-online.sony.com  *14 The adapter does not support 5.0V SmartMedia media or the ID function of SmartMedia media with IDs. The adapter does not 
support the SD Memory Card media copyright protection function. The adapter does not support memory cards with capacity of 2GB and over. As for “Memory Stick PRO” media, only 
Sony branded media is recommended to use with the adapter.  *15 Warranty conditions may vary by region.
