    Yes, but you are limited to the family processor, and your warranty will be void.

    That's something you have to ask yourself. How does the machine perform for you? Fast/Slow? Most people won't take advantage of a dual-core processor even if they had one (including myself).

    You can always tune up your machine to make it faster:
