For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple "virtual" platforms.Dual-Core Processing with 4MB L2 CacheThe Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package running at 2.4GHz with a full 4MB L2 cache and a 1066MHz FSB to provide truly parallel computing for enhanced multi-application performance.Learn more about Intel-powered ultrabooks. Other features including Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, Intel Smart Memory Access, Intel Advanced Smart Cache and Intel Digital Media Boost, all help the processor do more in less time. There are reviewers who say that this is a CPU design for Intel which will really change the industry and what gamers consider as the CPU of choice. The all-new Intel Core 2 Duo processor was developed to meet all these demands. In the home, interests have shifted from low-bandwidth photos and Internet surfing to downloading and viewing high definition videos as well as advanced photo and video editing. In office, PC usage has changed from data entry and word processing to e-Commerce, online collaboration and an ever-increasing need for continual security and virus protection. PC users are running multiple, intense software applications simultaneously and demanding more on hardware resources. Of course the main problem with the Acer 5620 is the Vista Operating System, that can be enhanced by turning off several useless services like Superfetch, Readyboost and Windows Search.Built on the innovative Intel Core microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package operating at 2.4GHz with a full 4MB L2 cache and a 1066MHz FSB to provide truly parallel computing for enhanced multi-application performance. The T9500 is th e same computing power of a i3 330M. It works noticeable faster, after all, a T7700 is about 75% of the computing power of a Intel i3 330M. Installation was simple: remove fan, remove heatsink, replace CPU, drop ArcticSilver5 thermal paste and reinstall heatsink and fan. This CPU can be had for 16 euro, and is a good price to boost about double the computing power of the notebook.

So the most you can get is the T9500, but it is an expensive CPU for a computer that is a end-of-life product.


The motherboard is the well known Columbia 48.4T301.01N and with the latest BIOS it will work with Meroms (T7x00) and Penryns (T9x00) with a FSB of up to 800MHz. I got a Core2Duo T7700 to replace the T5250 in my old Acer 5620.
