    It might help if you said which machine you have.

    It will accept the biggest SATA you can find, which would be 1TB for a 5400RPM drive and 750GB for a 7200RPM drive.

    My guess would be no on the second drive, but I'm not super familiar with Acers.

    In my own experience, upgrading the CPU is almost never worth the time or effort.

    If it was offered with Bluetooth, I'd say the chances are good if you swap enough parts, but again I'm not super familiar with Acer. You might want to post this in the Acer forum.
