First of all you need to find out if the PCU is upgradable. Chances are its soldered dirrectly to the motherboard. About the only things you can upgrade on most laptops is the HDD and RAM.

some of the users of m300 have upgraded the cpu so i'm sure about that

The next issue is how much money you want to spend for perhaps, not much gain. You might be able to put a 2.4 or 2.53 GHz chip in there, netting you about 20-25% clock increase, but you are probably looking at around $200-300 for the chip. Maybe less, I haven't looked in a while.

What are the other specs on the system and what do you use it for?

Also check the TDP i had a huge problem when i installed a high TDP processor on a laptop whose heat sink was tooo small and it took quite a bit of time before i realized the problem was.
