    I recently purchased an Acer aspire 5920. Apparently there are 2 different version of this type of laptop? I got the one with 1.5 mhz cpu with 667 fsb. If in the future i upgrade, am i limited to cpu with 667 fsb and 667 ram? Or can i step up to 800? Thanks.

    your cpu and memory are 800mhz its the santa rosa chipset that downclocks it to 667mhz

    Is there anything i can do to get it back to stock speed? Will the chipset hinder my upgrade to 800fsb in the future?

    Actually, it is possible to upgrade your CPU to T7XXX 800fsb. Search the forum for details. :)
