    It's inherently tricky because of the chipset used, the 940GML. It doesn't officially support the Core 2 Duo, and it's using Socket M which is a bit older.
    However, if the T5600 works, then we could assume that it'll handle a 667 MHz FSB. If that's the case, the theoretical fastest CPU you could install would be the Core 2 Duo T7600 at 2.33 GHz.
