It is an i7-620M and you are in luck. It is one of the compatible processors listed in the Service Manual:

It should work, in other words.

I did a side buy side compare on intels website and there isn't much at all different between the 450 m  and 620.  My system doesn't seem faster so much as does stable.  I like upgrades. I wonder what else is out there I could try in this slot?  perhaps a 4 core? humm . . . I'll probably start a fire in the living room.  Thanks

Forget the processor. Get a solid state drive if you want a noticeable performance upgrade.

Already have a 1 TB SanDisk X 400 SSD 8megs RAM
And yes installed the i7. The i7 really didn't improve on benchmark however, it has given much more stability to the platform. I think I'm done. 😉
