Hopefully someone will correct me. But I have a feeling laptop CPU's are soldered in are they not? And maybe locked in the bios?

I may be wrong though!!

I would upgrade the bios to the latest so that it can support the latest cpus for that chipset. Then you would probably be better going to an acer specific forum. ( According to a thread over at Acer guy website you can go with a core 2 duo with 667Mhz FSB, check this out though.)

chipset Upgrade path

Acer related forum

Just remember too watch out for a few things after the upgrade like heat build with the new cpu. Noise might be louder if the system's trying to keep it cool.

Laptops are often BIOS, chipset and power restricted, you'll have to do some digging about that model of laptop as to what cpu it can take, just because a cpu is the same socket and will fit doesn't mean it'll work.

replacing the cpu can be easy or hard, depends on the laptop, removing the cpu and fitting a new one is easy, getting to it can be very complex, some laptops it's easy, on others you will have to strip it right down.
