Pentium 2 upgrades?

 In the classified section of a local paper, I saw someone
advertising that you can now get your Pent. 1 w/ MMX upgraded to a Pentium II. I have an Aptiva with the Pentium I and MMX and would love to upgrade to the new  processor. Is this even possible? I bought the computer about 1 1/2 years ago and was told when they came out with Pent II that it would not even never be possible to upgrade. Then again I was also told that you could never upgrade a 486 to a Pentium, and now 486 user can upgrade to what I have for a around $200. What is the truth?

Pentium and Pentium II are different architecture specially on the dam socket that plug into.
Pentium use socket 7 and Pentium II use slot 1 which they are not compatible
