In the future would it make sense to buy a core 2 duo processor and replace my core solo processor..or will it get too hot? It gets hot already with the core solo...

That's pretty normal, unfortunately. Make sure you have power management enabled, and that should mitigate some of it. You can even run power management on wall power, not just on battery. It'll make it run a lot cooler. But you shouldn't see a huge difference between a Core solo and a Core duo in heat output. I'd go for it if I were you
Depends on what you want to do with your machine though... multitasking slow you down? What're you trying to fix by going to the Core Duo?

If you have to ask that question, then probably not
Mounting a processor properly, especially in a notebook, is a touchy matter. If you haven't ever done it before or seen someone do it, then it's best if someone teaches you how or you get someone else to do it. If you do it wrong, you can seriously damage your processor and/or whole machine. But a Core Solo really isn't that bad of a processor. What programs are you planning on running that aren't fast enough already? You'd see a MUCH better benefit to just upgrading your whole system in a couple of years than just replacing the processor relatively soon. If you're low on RAM (512MB or less), upgrade that. It's pretty easy, and will give you a major speed boost as compared to a processor.
Don't forget, multi-threaded software will still run on a Core Solo. Just not quite as fast as it would on a Core Duo.
