And below is the link for the only place on the entire internet where you can find the Sony ~~LUcid~~ Integrated Mpeg encoder for Windows 64 bit drivers, for Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (by sheer luck, not design) for the Sony Vaio LT Series (and they're even signed by Sony, so no issues installing on Windows OSs that require signed drivers);

*Wireless AGN: YES! (with an Intel 6300 AGN Wireless Adapter (example only here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UOQVYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and an mSATA to mini PCIe Adapter (example only here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303958855609))

*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).
