My computer currently has an Intel Dual Core E2160 1.8GHz processor with an Allendale core in it. My motherboard runs at 800MHz FSB. It's got an LGA775 socket. I'm wondering if I can slap any 800MHz FSB LGA 775 processor in there or if I'm limited to only certain series of Core2 processors. Thanks for any input!

I wouldn't assume that i would go to the manufacturers site for your motherboard and it will tell you exactly what CPU are compatible. Collingwood Web Hosting and Collingwood Web Design

I tired but Acer's website is about as useful as a Macbook Air [yeah, bad pun] I have an Aspire M1640 and I can't really find anything about what CPU's it will support.

If you have a decent motherboard, simply overclock what you have. You can crank the heck out of the Core 2 Duo based Pentiums. And remember, the new Pentium is MUCH better than a Pentium 4 or Pentium D, so don't be fooled by clock speed. The E2160 kicks the crap out of P4's that run at twice the clock speed. http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/... EDIT: nevermind...you have an Acer.
