    I have a Acer Aspire 7720. Its a great computer, but the processor is a little on the slow side for gaming. Ive called various computer tech services, but they do not offer CPU installation. Is it even possible?? I also don't have a whole lot of computer skills, as far as installing hardware goes. Thanks.

    It is possible, but not something you should do by yourself. What processor does it have?

    Now it has a Core 2 Duo 1.5 Ghz, I was going to upgrade it to a 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo.
