PCG-FR215E & PCG-FR395EP, same motherboard?

Now found that my FR395 has a fried motherboard.
Been offered a FR215E as a donor, but not sure if the board is the same, anybody know?

Only diff I see is 215 has AMD Athlon XP-M Processor 2200+
and nVidea Geforce4 420 go vid chipset with 16MB ddr vid memory.

The 395 has an intel celeron 2.6 ghz with ATI radeon IGP 345m, up to 128mb vid mem.


May be stupid question but can I use the baord from the 215 and just swap all the chips over?

LOL, AMD CPU use base A. 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.

BTW: Radeon IGP 345M is the wrong name. The real name is 340M.
The 5 means f*** Sony edition and stands for driver incompatibility.
