    They are both Pentium M processors. Yes you can upgrade the 1.6Ghz Pentium M to the 1.73Ghz Pentium M.
    You will have no problems doing this. Just make sure to reapply good thermal paste like arctic silver and fasten everything together properly and everything will work flawlessly. Your system may run a tad hotter, but you can always undervolt it a bit.
