Hi:

If your notebook has the Intel HM55 chipset, none of the core processors listed will work because those are only for the notebooks with the Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset.

I have no idea what processors you can upgrade to in that model, since there is no documentation for an upgrade path for models with the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset, but it would be limited to one of the first generation Intel core processors such as the:

Intel Core i5-580M Processor (2.66 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)*

Up to 3.33 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Intel Core i5-560M Processor (2.66 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)*

Up to 3.20 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Intel Core i5-540M Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)*

Up to 3.06 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Intel Core i5-520M Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)*
