    Acer Aspire 5613 AWLMI
    Spec:
    Intel Core Duo T2350
    My chipset is Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset

    My research:--
    i did checked on Intel site that this chipset supports

    Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7600 (4M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 667 MHz FSB)

    Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset with 82801GBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH7M)

    i did call Acer Rep at my location but hey were unable to help...

    If you have 945GM chipset then yeah, Core 2 Duo socket M(like T7600) should work. However, your BIOS must support it too and I have no idea if Acer made a BIOS update for your model that actually support C2D CPUs.
