    You should be able to upgrade, but only to the old generation, so Core Duo and first gen Core 2 Duos (Socket M).

    i do believe you can upgrade that CPU with a SOCKET M--CORE 2 DUO..
    do alot of research before buying an upgrade CPU, I made the mistake of just ordering CPUs w/out doing research and it's taken me a little time to sell the Socket M CPUs i ordered for my family's 3 laptops.

    link to socket P CPU upgrades
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=229430

    you'll find that the primary considerations you must take into account are:
    1. MB chipset (i.e. GM940, GM943, GM945 are socket M chipsets)
    the chipset often limits the FBS speed your MB can support.
    2. CPU socket type
    3. BIOS support for the CPU upgrade.

    to get more definitive answers reguarding your laptop i think you should ask this question in the ASUS forum, there you can probably get info/help w/ choosing the right CPU for your setup, help with disassembly, and other brand specific issues.

    good luck
