Hello,
I was wondering if I can swap a E8350 cpu with a T7500 that is surrently installed ? I have the E8350 on hand that didnt cost me anything, it has better specs 3.06 vs 2.2, 6m vs 4m cache but the FSB is 1033 vs 800 ? and the power usage is 44w vs 35w It is going in an old acer aspire 5315-2153 that I have already put 5gb RAM (didnt like 6gb ?) a 128 SSD,DDR2 6400 and a dvd/rw. Any help would be appreciated !

Not sure I would try it. Even if it worked and the bios handled the chip, there is a 9W power difference between them. Your laptop would run a lot hotter and there won't be much you can do about it. (and you'll have a shorter battery life.)
