Hi,
I asked to many Arima's manufacturer laptop (same as emachine M68XX) if their notebooks are compatible with the Turion processor.
See their reponse below :

Hi,
The W-730 is compatible with the AMD Turion Processor (35W) however,
you
will not get any extra battery life from using it.
Regards,
QDI Support.

Dear Mr. XXXX,
thank you for your inquiry to the technical support.
It is very unlikely that the new AMD Turion is compatible to this
Notebook.
However, we had no opportunity to test this, so we cannot be sure of
this at
the moment.
If you have any further questions, please use the web form on our
website:
www.service.targa.co.uk/supportform.php whilst using your correct
serial
number.
You can also find answers to frequently asked questions on
www.service.targa.co.uk and useful tips for the usage of your device as
well.
Have a nice day.
Yours sincerely,
Stephan Heisse

Dear XXX :
Thank you for contacting eMachines.
I see that you are inquiring if your M6811 eMachines notebook is
compatible with an ?AMD Turion processor?.
I understand how this type of issue could have caused you some
concerns. However, concerning notebook device upgrades, only the RAM or memory
stick is the upgradeable part in your system.
The processor is usually part of the motherboard, so we cannot change
or upgrade the device itself.
I understand this can be rather frustrating and I hope this brief reply
has provided you the information to deal with your concern in the best
possible way.
Should you require further assistance with your eMachines system,
please feel free to send another message. Your comments and suggestions are
welcome.
Sincerely,
Bernard
