i recently bought an Intel core 2 duo T7700 and 4GB of RAM (2x2GB @800MHz) for my acer aspire 5315 that has an Intel GL960 as chipset, i coulnt find any information on support that i could 100% be sure it was correct, but some guy that did an upgrade on the same laptop that the CPU i bought was compatible, in fact a lot of users upgraded to a T7500 without a problem, the thing that i am concerned with is the RAM support, some users got the machine to boot with 3GB without a problem, but i went for 4GB since the kit came in that size and i wanted to push this machine to its limits even further, if anyone knows about this and has an answer if whether my upgrade is going to work or i am going to be left in the dark please let me know, and also i would really like to know that if it works, the RAM is going to run at the full 800MHz (since my machine supports that FSB and the CPU too) or i am going to be limited by the limit that HWinfo64 tells me, 667MHz.

P.D. i run the latest BIOS version 1.45
Also i would like to know if i have to reinstall windows after the CPU upgrade (i know you dont for RAM) or if it is going to work perfectly with the current installation
And i would like to know if my machine supports UEFI and GPT, HWinfo64 says it does and in fact i was able to boot a GPT Windows 8 installation media without a problem but the Windows Vista GPT USB didnt boot and it just gave up and went to the install in the SSD
