Hi:

 

It depends on what chipset your notebook has.

 

If it has the Intel GM965 chipset you can upgrade to this processor...Intel T8300 2.40-GHz processor.

 

If it has the Intel GL960 chipset, the best processor you can upgrade to is the Intel T5750 2.00-GHz processor

 

The maximum memory your notebook can take is 2 x 1 GB, so you are already at the max.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.  Chapter 1 has the processor and memory upgrade info.

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