    The Core series upgrade is not possible. However, you should be able to upgrade to a Dothan or a banias Pentium M depending on bios and chipset support.

    EDIT: From Acer press release located here the system ships with the 910GML chipset and according to Intel it only supports the Celeron M's.

    However, it may still support the 400Mhz Pentium M's. Check the web to see if anyone has done a similar upgrade.
