Here is the highest processor your motherboard supports:

 

Intel Core i7-2640M 2.80 GHz (SC turbo up to 3.50 GHz), PGA processor (4.0 MB L3 cache, dual core, 35 W) 666173-001

 

Dual core, 2.8 ghz so seems to meet your requirements. 

 

Here's the Service Manual:

$40 for this processor is a great deal:
