    What is your notebook model?

    This can be done AFAIK but you will require a BIOS update, you will have to first get the updated BIOS from your manufacturer in order for you to update your core duo to a core 2 duo.

    Should be easy to do, make sure the Core 2 Duo is the 667mhz one and not the 800mhz one.
