Hi:

 

You can only install one of the supported 1st gen core processors listed in the service manual for your notebook.

 

No Intel 2nd or 3rd gen core processor will work in a notebook with a mobile intel series 5 chipset.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a link for that service manual because I've only found what appears to be just a spec sheet. Thanks again.

You're very welcome.

 

Here is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.

 

The supported processors can be found in chapter 1.

 

Since your notebook has the Intel HM55 Express Chipset, the best processor you can install is the Intel Core i7-840QM.
