    I own a baby M9750i R1 with a T5500 Core 2 @1.66Ghz

    Can someone please let me know if the CPU is upgradable and if so do you know the highest CPU i can install in my machine.

    i also believe that 4gb ram is max, is this correct as i am already up to 2x2gb ram.

    I appreciate your time and efforts in answering these questions.
    :D

    The best you can put in there will be the T7600, they're getting cheaper now as it's quite old now but still a respectable 2.33GHz dual core with 4MB L2 cache.

    Below that there's the T7400 (2.16GHz) and T7200 (2GHz), it looks like it's a socketed CPU so there should be no trouble upgrading.
