well, i do not know the naming policy of Acer. but knowing some product
lines of other manufacturers, it might be that 3002 is really another
machine than 3020 (and this is no swap of digits). it might be like:
30xx means 15" screen notebook. 300x means the former + CPU from AMD.
and 3002 means the former with bluetooth, where 3001 would mean the
former with WLAN. well, this might be the idea behind it, but i do not
know. also the same machines might have slightly different numbers in
different countries/regions of the world.


> p.s. I'm going to upgrade DSDT in my Acer Aspire 5021 that why I ask.

so it might be that 5021 is the same family and thus DSDT-compatible
with 5020 and also with 5002. or not... you should contact Acer to ask
them about the relations of the numbers. or you could search the net
extensively for product infos.

hth,
 Sebastian
