    More than likely you can do it, you may need a BIOS update, but unless you've got a specific need, I doubt it's worth the time or expense.

    I totally agree. I doubt the difference would make that much of a difference.

    You probably know that upgrading the cpu voids your warranty. But as suggested, you can try to Update your bios.
