Acer Aspire 5630 LAPTOP

I was wondering if i would be able purchase this CPU and get acer to upgrade it for me or won't my laptop be able to have that CPU?

Also is my graphics card upgradeable as i really would like a better one

Cheers kurtis.

 

i don't think that is a Mobile CPU or motherboard... so i don't see ya fitting it in your laptop....

this link has a lot of info and links to mobile cpus and the chipsets they are compatible with..

post your questions there, Hoggie and Krazy seem to be the resident experts when it comes to cpu upgrades, and they are really helpful people.

well my friend seems to think that it should fit if it has the right socket...

and as for upgrading my video/graphics card?

 

That isn't a CPU that your computer can use. That is a Desktop cpu. Just for reference most laptop Multi-core cpus from Intel start with TXXXX followed by 4 digits(Represented by the "X"s).

 

thanks for the reply

Now about that graphics card?

 

Sorry graphics cards are beyond my scope at the moment.

Please run the program at this link http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php so we can begin a search for a better CPU.

Post your Chipset information and CPU.

 

i got an error?

 

Wait it's working ran as admin lol.

chipset: intel i945PM
CPU: intel core duo mobile T5500 @1.66 mhz

 

You should be able to upgrade to a T7200 @ 2GHZ/4MB Cache/667 FSB. Don't act on that info just yet, and wait for someone else to okay it.

 

ok, well thanks for helping me, someone okay it please

this what you mean?

 

i believe those are engineering sample cpus,, definately not retail or oem cpus...

you see where the --- is on the top right corner??? well that should have
the T7200 to designate the CPU model,,
you might be able to google the other #'s on the CPU to verify that it is infact a T7200..

the first # In second row might lead you to specs.. i'm not sure.. but i'd do some serious research and google those #'s before i ordered that cpu since it doesn't have the T7200 identifier!!

just trying to help out,

yea i think it is i don't really know because 70 pounds isn't too bad but 200 pounds for another one that i found i can't afford it and it's only a small bit faster..
