Information concerning that CPU  is not supported.  It appears that the Intel Core2 Duo line is the best you can do.  What is installed at present?

Considering that model line and CPU line are fairly old,  I cannot see much benefit for trying to change to a slightly better CPU. Unless you are just going to try a different CPU for fun, that present one  is near the top of what is accepted.
