Acer Extensa EX4620-4605 upgradable?

Hello all, I'm a new user, and I was wanting to know if anyone knew of the upgrade capabilites for the Acer Extensa EX4620-4605. Specifically in the processor range.

Does it support any processor that is socket 775 with a 533 mhz FSB? Does it support any quad cores possibly? I'm just looking for different options. Seems like a very nice cheaper laptop with 2 gigs of ram and a 160gb hard drive, but I think it's lacking a little in processing power.

(then again, if you look at the regular standard of equivilence, a 1.46ghz dual core is about a 3ghz single core... though, I don't think it would quite perform as well as that.)

Any help is appreciated on this. Thanks!

u have stock t2xxx at the moment? u can look into popping in a t7xxx range with no issue, since this would give u REAL duo-processing performance (supporting 64bits OS)

cheers ...

According to the specs, it has a T2310 processor, so it seems that upgrading wouldn't be an issue from what you said, correct?

Thanks by the way.

I have one of these and am looking at upgrades. It uses the SR chipset, which supports up to 800mhz FSB chips. As long as the heatsink can handle the heat dissipation, you should be able to upgrade to any T7 series you want.

The Pentium T23 series supports x64. It's nothing more than a C2D Merom with half the cache disabled.
