Dell vostro 1510 cpu upgrade

[Pentium4User]

Hello I have a Dell vostro 1510 and it has a celeron 560 and even tho it still good in my opinion. The single core getting on me now. Now I tried upgrading it to a core 2 duo T5500 from my old ibm t60 so I know it works but when I try booting it up it at a black screen and the num lock light flashes so I know it not gonna work. So I was wondering does the dell vostro only support certain core 2 duos or it my board that doesn't support it, because I noticed that the models that ship with the celeron their boards are different then the models ship with the core 2 duos you can tell by when you look at the celeron boards it missing the bga place where the optional nvidia 8400 gs that a terrible chip doesn't seem to have the bga print out.
Thank you if you can help.
By the way I know this laptop old but I honestly love it.
EDIT: Is it because the t5500 is a 667 mhz fsb while the core 2 duos ship with these laptops was 800 mhz fsb?

Basically, yes, you can only use certain Core 2 CPUs in that laptop. And count yourself lucky that you can even upgrade the CPU; most laptops have the CPUs soldered in place, requiring pretty much a complete board replacement to get a new CPU.

Basically, what you need to look for in a Core 2 CPU is the following:
-- Socket P
-- FSB of 800MHz or less
-- TDP at least under 45W, preferably under 35W

That T5500 you tried didn't work because it's a Socket M CPU; it's slightly older than the Socket P, & while it has 478 pins it's not actually compatible.

Seems like the best recommendation is the Core 2 Duo T9300: faster, dual-core, & 6MB of L2 cache vs. your 1MB. Although apparently some were able to get the Extreme X9000 (also dual-core, even faster than the T9300) to work as well.
