    I got back in November an Acer 5620-6830 with a T5250 cpu on it.

    I already upgraded the ram to 2gb's.

    What cpu upgrade can I do on it? I heard that there are T7xxx series out there, but run at 800mhz FSB.

    Can I upgrade to those, and If I do, do I have upgrade the ram to 800mz ram from the 667 i currently have ?

    Also, the HD on it is SLOW. Is there any special requirements to upgrade this drive, as I see that it is partition in 2 parts ?


    I have done lappy upgrades before but confused with this ACER.

    I have HD swapping software and equipment i've used on prior laptops, if that helps.


    Thanks

    Ed
