Actuall, I removed some back panels and noted that under the heatpipes there is a proper socket where the CPU is seated.
I guess, I would have to check the socket type (via cpuid??) and then see if there is a newer bios that supports the merom cpu.

Many people have upgraded their Dell XMS M1210 laptops from Yonah to Merom.
