I have the 'latest' Sony Vaio, TX47, which has the solo Intel chip - is it possible, or will it be possible, to upgrade the computer to the Duo 2 chip?

sorry pal, the tx47 is a different breed of notebook
note, it uses the u1400, 1.2 ghz processor in most probability
this is a ultra low voltage processor, not a normal t1x00 solo processor, or t2x00 / t2x50 duo
& the core 2 duo processors are t5x00 / t7x00, whose fsb is 667 mhz., whereas u'r fsb (u1400) i guess is 400 mhz
so, best forget any processor upgrade

It's possible, but you need to make sure that the same model of Vaio is capable ob handlng the chip and is sold with that currently. If it is, all you should need is a firmware upgrade from the manufacturer (Sony). They use the same slots =)

No. The mainboard must also be chaged out and it must also fit that specific model notebook.
