Im not sure what the board is, it's in an Acer Aspire 5630 laptop, and all Im sure is that it's the intel chipset. Where would I be able to find out what it is, without taking it apart??

So its a laptop, i though it was desktop motherboard (because some desktop motherboards support Intel mobile CPUs)
well i think the max CPU that u can put on it is that T5600 u have, but to be completely sure u might want to ask from ACER too

It should in theory work with any other socket M core2duos with the same FSB speeds.
