If you try to install an unsupported processor it is unlikely that it will work properly.
Have a great day!

Excellent news, I have upscaled mine to 2620M, 2.7-GHz (turbo up to 3.4-GHz) processor with 4-MB L3 cache, I actually bought the same as yours but returned it on the fear of just burning out a cpu or machine for testing purposes but now I know you can safely upgrade to a four core, i will push on and do it
Thanks
I've done my homework since then, the socket on the probook series is FCPGA988, which means any processessor from the 2nd and 3rd gen i7 range found here http://ark.intel.com/products/family/59136/2nd-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processors#@Mobile and http://ark.intel.com/products/family/65506/3rd-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processors#@Mobile obviously worthy of a try, the processoers Im going to try would increase speed by about 20%
I'm going to try a
i7-2820QM
or a
i7-2860QM
I'll let you all know how it goes, if I can get a 3rd gen i7 I will slam it in and takes my chances, the lower end i7's go cheap enough to try, they're all the same socket but version 4000 in ghraphics, maybe that will make the difference, won't know till i try

I installed a i7-2620M which worked fantastically, I did some research and asked a couple of intel guys and they said I can stick any 2nd gen i7 in the probook so I am now running the i7-2820QM in a probook 6560b with 16gb ram, you really notice the difference with 4 cores even though the 2620 had a turbo it's still only on one core.
Hope this helps you out guys
