Laptop CPU Upgrade Socket M

[idata]

Hello !

I have HP Compaq Presario V3018TU Notebook PC. Current specifications of it are- Intel Core Solo T1350 1.86GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM 120GB SATA HDD Intel 945GM Chipset 802.11ABG Wireless LAN & Bluetooth 2.0 14.1" LCD Screen. I found that various processors are available for cheap on eBay. So rather selling this machine for less price, I am thinking to upgrade it. According to HP's Service Manual, V3000 series can have Intel Dual Core T2600 2.16GHz Processor. I am wondering that will it support Core2Duo series, say Intel Core2Duo T7200 ? I read socket information, it says Socket M Supports T7200. But will BIOS identify the processor ? Looking forward for expert advice. Thanks.
