    I was wondering if anyone had any info on upgrading an Acer TravelMate 5320.
    It's extremely tough to find info on the web about upgrading any of the components.. I can't even find a service manual anywhere..
    I want to upgrade the CPU to something more powerful than the Celery M 540.

    :)

    With Everest Ultimate see the chipset your laptop mounts, if it is a i943 you can go with a @533 fsb Core 2 Duo cpu, the T5200 and the T5300. If it is a i945 it supports also @667 fsb cpu up to the T7600. In the first case more than a huge speed boost you will notice more reactivity at commands, a cooler cpu, and a hour more of battery life, due to the presence of speedstep.
