I have had my Dell 6000D for a while now and it is starting to show it's age. I was wondering if my laptop's MOBO would be able to support a dual core processor that is setup for the socket M? the point that i am getting at is whether or not it would be worth my time/money to make such an upgrade-as well as getting a better HD- for this machine.
by the way, here is a link to the processor that I was looking at: link

then the new HD I was planning on pairing with it: link
