    hi, I've just bought an aspire 5720z when in america a few weeks ago (i live in the uk). I can't find any info on what upgrade options there are for this machine. I can't even find an aspire with this spec anywhere. It has a T2330 chip with 2Gb ram, a 250G HD and intel graphics. does anyone know if I can put a core 2 duo chip in here or a seperate graphics card? Thanks for your help.

    Processor may be upgradeable any Socket P Core 2 Duo, depending on motherboard and BIOS support, GPU is not upgradeable.

    I think you can upgrade to Santa Rosa Processor. Which has 800mhz FSB this will be a good upgrade.
