    The best way is to contact Acer support and ask for a CPU compatibility list.

    Acer (applicable manufacturer) support homepage, or Google (request Service/Repair Manual). Upon locating the manual look under Specifications, then check for the compatible processors. Optionally, research to find the Mainboard manufacturer & model, then go to their support page. Intel based MOBO processor compatibility should easily be found in a browser just by inserting some basic motherboard info. & combining the words "CPU/Processor Compatibility." I hope that the aforementioned information will help.

    Is there an extension to your Aspire 5250, e.g. Acer Aspire 5250-xxxx?

    Old thread, yes!

    My first response would generally be, "you can't replace the CPU in a Laptop".

    Because in most, or at least many instances, the CPU is soldered to the motherboard and not just plugged into a socket like the cpu on a Desktop PC.

    Look elsewhere to increase the performance of your little laptop.
    Oh, and max out the ram.

    I can usually Double the efficiency of almost any laptop I work on, without ever changing any of the hardware, but just tweaking and tuning the OS for max efficiency.

    Everything I've learned over the years about how to do that, is still out there on the internet. There are a lot of Safe Defaults in W-7 that can be eliminated. And, many Services that can be disabled. (a full list is available on the Black Viper's website)

    Good Luck!
