Sure.
if I was you I would look for some yellow voltage, with green dots…

Gee, so much brand terms… I know nada about it. Go to a shop which you trust, and say: “I want the best and fastest there is”. That should do.

Are you looking to upgrade to dual core processor X2? if so I dont think that your board will take it unless you already have a dual core installed. Also most of the new dual core processors will be running DDR-2 instead of DDR. My self I only use Intel Processors so thats why I was asking about the X2 before the speed. Hope this helps :-)

I have an Acer Aspire too, and when I had problems with CPU Voltage I downloaded the “EVEREST ULTRA ENGINEER” and started watching the temps.

Finally it was just the cooling paste that needed reput. ;)
