*SATA 3.0 (6 MB/S)?: Nope, it is limited to SATA 2.0 (3 MB/S) speeds because of the GM365 Chipset. Oh, well, nothing is perfect.

===Conclusions and Final Thoughts===

This computer is a wonder, functional system in the year 2022. The cost of upgrades were pennies on the dollar compared to buying an equivalent brand new system. Would buying a new system have more power, capabilities, etc? Yes and no. It would have more power. But capabilities? I'd put this system in a contest with the best equivalent system 2022 has to offer and not expect it to win (but it would come in a close second). This Vaio is a bit slower and weighs a lot more than a contemporary equivalent, but it will still do everything a system like this was designed for (even in the year 2022, and beyond).

I'll also never use the above noted MPEG Encoder. Why? It's MPEG 2. Enough said as there are newer encoders that are much better. This was an exercise in "could it be accomplished' which blossomed out into, "How much can this computer be?" project.
