I have a notebook called Acer Aspire 5572ANWXMi (of Aspire 5570 Series) which is using a Core Duo T2250 (1.73Ghz 533 Mhz) on the chipset 945GM. Could anyone tell me what Core 2 Duo CPUs which I can use for the upgrade? I have asked for many recommendations from many forums but almost no one can give me a satisfied answer. Thanks all.

Not only that the 945GM chipset is not compatible with C2D, but also it's a mobile chipset. Aspire is a laptop as far as I know. Meaning you have to find socket M type mobile Core Duo CPUs. They may be very rare and expensive!

You said that my notebook chipset is not compatible with Core 2 Duo CPUs, then why did Intel list some Core 2 Duo CPUs that can be combined with my chipset? They are T5500, T5600, T7200, T7400, T7600 and T7600G. Those CPUs are on this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816
You are the one of the minority who said that my laptop cannot be upgraded.
You have a proprietary laptop motherboard. Besides the 945GM MCH, what type of CPU can be supported also may depended on the ICH, BIOS, and/or other components on the laptop board.
My point is C2D may not be compatible, especially later generation ones. Even if it is, it will be too costly to worth to upgrade, since these mobile CPUs costs a lot of money.
If you are so confident that it will work, you can always just try it.

Through CPU-z (I wonder if this software showed the right result), I knew that my laptop socket is 479mPGA while Sisoftware Sandra showed Socket M. It has an ICH7MDH chipset. The BIOS Version is 1.3502 since February 2nd, 2007. The laptop is using an Intel VGA 950 Integrated.
Yeah, those posts are mine and they said that I am able to upgrade the notebook. What are your opinions?
I think that you have the chipset and south bridge to support the Core 2 Duo.... but I think it is going to be your bios that may determine if you can or cannot upgrade to the upper line of the cpu.
If it is possible, try amongst your friends that have a laptop with a Core 2 Duo and see if you can "borrow" the cpu to try into your laptop to see if it works..... before you go and sink all that money into one just to find out that it does not work due to bios.

Like I said, my BIOS Version is 1.3502 since February 2nd, 2007 and because I'm a noob at hardware, I have to ask for your suggestions for this. Could anyone of you tell me what Core 2 Duo CPUs are supported by this BIOS version? I'm sure that my friends won't let me use one of their CPUs because this will void their warranties.
