My system runs without issue with the supplied E4700 2.6 GHZ core two quad.cpu ,however i would like to upgrade to the Q9550 2.83 quad core 1333 fsb 12Mb L2. When i install it , the system starts,beeps then goes no further.
In most cases like this it means that the motherboard just can't handle the new processor. There should be a beep chart in your motherboard documentation that will tell you what the beeps mean. For example, one set will mean that the RAM is not there whereas another might say I don't think I have a processor. Often upgrading the processor requires extensive reflashing of your BIOS to support the processor IF the motherboard can even do it. Always read very carefully to see what processors your motherboard will support. Depending on your RAM, you might even have issues with the RAM. Sorry for all the bad news.
Have you visited the vendors website to check if it's compatible?

Go to www.newegg.com and whatever you want to upgrade click on that item and match it up with your current board (by looking at the specifications and matching them). I suggest to buy a new mobo and all new processors and ram. You can use your old case, hard drive and all that good stuff that is removable.

Hi Gerry,
The understanding of how this works will require some study on your part. This is because you would not have enough basic knowledge to understand any short answers, that someone might give.
Here are some resources for you to read so you will understand this subject.

I hope you will find the answers you are looking for here.
Good luck.

The answer to your first question is yes, your computer is compatible with the MAC OS. However it is very important to continue to ask this question to the MAC Salesperson you deal with when purchasing the software.
The answer to your second question is to do with Heat. Your computer is overheating and is therefore slowing down so it does not fry your CPU. You need to ensure that the Processor Heat sink is making proper contact with the CPU and the fan is connected to the computer main board. Clean the computer of all dust and install as many fans as your computer chassis will allow.
I think this chassis supports up to 80mm fans.
A well cooled computer chassis will work efficiently and effectively.
The Cooler Master Geminii S CPU cooler is a very good CPU cooler for your Processor.
It will reduce the temperature of your Processor by several degrees.
It is very important to get as much, cooler fresh air into your computer chassis as possible. As this will mean that your computer system will run at a far cooler temperature.

The AHCI can be enabled from using the correct driver but you should have enabled it PRIOR to the OS install
Acer did not always do this but often relied on compatibility mode
The speed increase is often not that much.
The BIOS on that board can be updated but you may find that AHCI still does not work as you expect.
