    The highest P-M CPU in terms of clock speed is the PM780. Honestly, I don't think the upgrade is worth it - it'll be hard to do, and very costly. The performance gain from the setup you already have will be very marginal at best.

    The 780 Pentium M is the last Pentium M made. It runs at 2.26ghz. I have found them on newegg, but not at the moment. I hope this helps.
