CPU upgrade

I was about to tear my laptop apart when I thought of asking here first.
Does anyone know what type of CPU socket is in a toshiba tablet PC m205-s810 and what kind of CPU upgrades are avalible for it? Current CPU: 1.5 GHz Pentium M (Centrino),

Thanks.

Thanks, that seems to fit in with some bits and pieces I've been able to find on this subject.

According to Toshiba support, the M200 model has the Pentium M 735 (1.70GHz),and the Pentium M 745 (1.80GHz)
as the M205 has the Pentium M 1.50GHz.
Since Toshiba gives all of these models with the same specs other than the CPU's, I would guess they all have the same motherboard and can be interchanged.

The only issue could be, the Pentium M 1.5GHz in your laptop now, has a 1Mb cache rather than the 2Mb as it's not identified by an Intel number like the 735 and 745.
You can run the intel processor finder to find the specs on it
