    hi, i've had a lot of searching and still couldn't find if i can upgrade my processor to T7250 or T7500.

    i've managed to learn that i can upgrade my ram using SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHZ DUAL CHANNEL.

    any help about the processor?

    The Aspire 7720 can indeed be upgraded to the T7250 or T7500 - in fact, there's a configuration sold here in Canada that has the latter.
    As well, your chipset can support the first generation of Penryn processors (T8100/T8300/T9300/T9500), if you prefer to upgrade to those.
    However, you should try to obtain the 7720's service guide to see how the upgrade is performed.

    There is a good chance that you will void your warranty....

    EDIT: Anywayz here is the SG....

    And good upgrades are the T8300 or the T9300....!!

    Ask a member on our forums called atthegates - he's got a wide variety of service guides at his disposal.
    As far as I know, the only parts users can upgrade without voiding your warranty are the hard drive and memory - the things they tell you how to do in the regular user's guide.
    But I could be wrong - maybe other people will join in this topic and help me us out here.
