Hi:

 

You would not be able to upgrade the processor to any Intel core processor model.

 

Here is the link to the service manual.  Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf

 

Note:  In order to upgrade to one of the higher processors listed in the manual, your notebook must have the Mobile Intel GM45 or PM45 chipset.

 

If it has the Mobile Intel GL40 chipset, you can only upgrade to the T5900 processor listed in the manual.

 

I have zipped up and attached below, a free utility that will tell you what chipset your PC has.
