    Yes, it looks like only BIOS update will be necessary. Though I don't think it's worth it, the deference in performance is minimal and furthermore you'll probably won’t get to use it with such a ****ty GPU. T7500 has a great mobile CPU performance.
    For monster calculation machine Q9450 @ 4.5GHz for almost the same price will be much better choise. ;)
