    The i6000 used Pentium M processors, so you cannot use Core or Core 2 as Intel changed the pin layout on those processors. The fastest you can get would be the Pentium M 770, and that upgrade would (1) be expensive and (2) wouldn't even get you dual core.

    They changed three pins in one corner so that the two processors could not get mixed up.
