Aspire 5315 CPU Step-by-Step Upgrade Guide

[bigozone]

You want to swap mobos in the 5315..?? I guess the 7720 has a similar mobo. Will have to look up the compatibility, since BigO earlier stated that the 7720's mobo is a bit bigger in size. It will be a great upgrade if you can get a PM965 mobo from the 7720 into the 5315.

[I swapped my mobo, from an Aspire 5570 into my 3680. Works fine and I did it basically to get Core 2 Duo functionality in my notebook. (And I got a cheap deal on the mobo for $95).]

that's one heck of an upgrade for a 3680.... congrats..

looks like the motherboard upgrade is possibel, IN THEORY

Anyone managed to swap motherboards on an Acer Aspire 3680 or 5570 or 5580

NO PROOF
but i would be extreemely interestead if it is doable, more research needed,
im sure u guys are a lot more knowledgeble than me (a 16yr old)

please research, im sure everyone would be interested if its doable or not.

may take a few days to a week,, i have others in line ahead of you, and people w/ corrupted BOIS's due to faulty windows flashes... and i kinda give those types of problems high priority status.

but i will get to it soon

for now 5720 and 7720 asipres my be easy swaps since the MBs in those are also ACADIA2 based.. but they do have extra buttons and more ports!

just start looking for pics of those model latop exterior (sides and front edges especially) since those are the most likely to fit w/ little to no mods needed

Just upgraded my 4315 successfully!!!! Replaced my Celeron 530 with a Core 2 Duo T5750! I videotaped it, but not very well. I'll use Sony Vegas to patch it up and upload it to my YouTube channel.

notice a nice little processing increase??

good info,, but common knowledge,, that is the basis of NO-NAME's desire for detailed chipset info... and i understand his concerns since he has not been exposed to this upgrade for 6 months... but from my experience and those of others as well,, a GL960 shows as a GM965 after a CORE2DUO upgrade and has all the benifits that are listed under the GM965...

but until INTEL makes thier internal procedures public knowledge, the questions he want's concrete answers too is just not going to be FULLY CONFIRMEND

GL960 Crestline 82960GL (GMCH) Celeron M, Pentium Dual-Core 533 MHz DDR2 533 2GB

GM965 Crestline 82965GM (GMCH) Core 2 Duo, Celeron M 533 / 800 MHz DDR2 533 / 667 4GB

the yellow might explain y it reads it as 965 after upgrade, does the red mean that my laptop that reads GM965 stock can handle 4gb of ram?

If its the 5315, then its got the GL960. Open up, and read the code printed on the chipset.

are you saying you have a 5315 with the NEW DUAL CORE CELERON??
if you are showing us data on the chipsets,, believe me that part is understood but still controversial

if a 5720 can take a 5315 motherboard surely it could do the other way round?

and accoring to the 5720 motherboard listed on thier website it can

yes.. you just have to push the plug out of the blocked hole infront of the 5135 where headphones plug in,, the 5720 uses all three holes.. (LINE IN added)
