    Shouldn't be any heat problems, the new processors won't fit.

    Take a look at the CPU Guide. The 7200 is socket M. The 7500 is socket P.

    The T7200 would almost certainly be the most power per performance upgrade for you CPU, yes. Theoretically you could put in a T7400 or T7600, but it would probably be cost prohibited.
