    Upgrading from a Pentium M to a Core/Core 2 series processors is not possible since Intel changed the socket configuration(it has the same number of pins but the pin configurations are different). Plus only i945 series chipsets support the Core/Core 2 processors.

    If you had a newer laptop with a core duo/core 2 duo, it might be possible to upgrade to a faster processor in the same series.
