(MB.AZL06.003 Main Board ZR1.SATA.943GML.UMA) I am purchasing the New CPU upgrade (Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 2M Cache, 1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) from amazon. I wanted to maintain the same Bus, I had a feeling, I should have chosen the 1.60 Ghz version, just because the Acer Aspire One I purchased a few months later had the N270 Atom Processor, clocked at 1.60 Ghz. Maybe the exact same chipset, or close. I just hope that the 1.73 Ghz will still work. I just ordered this CPU and I am really crying about taking the unit apart, I can see where the CPU is right after I remove the Memory Panel, I am hoping that I do not have to remove almost everything and dissassemble everything just to get to the CPU. Oh well. Please make me feel better. -Alex 772 8072295 ===================== Reply: Hi Alex, it is possible that the Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 2M Cache, 1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB might work, providing the 943 GML chipset will support it. Another thing to consider is to update / flash the BIOS to the latest revision. As for taking the laptop apart, this is never easy sometimes to get to the CPU processor. I only have this to suggest, and that is to do one step at a time very carefully, making sure to take a 15 - 30 second breaks in between steps for your brain to re-focus otherwise mistakes can be made.

Hi William Vogelsang,

The best thing to do is to check with what Penitum CPU processor the Intel chipset would support.
The chipsets for this Acer 3680 model is;
Chipset numbers:
i945 GML
i943 GML
i940 GML
You would need to go to the intel website and determine the exact CPU processors are supported.

Hope this helps.
