IBM Lenevo T61 Thinkpad customization ability?

[Ducky duck]

What chipset does the motherboard use? Currently it has an Intel Mobile Core Duo CPU, I'd like to swap it out for a higher end processor. I can't multitask as much as I do.

You should be able to upgrade it to MK VI no problem.

This should tell you everything you need to know about it. It's been extremely helpful with my own T61

Good luck getting non-intel graphics then.

You can probably put a core 2 quad in it, but mobile core 2 quads are expensive as forget.

Nope, none of the quads are supported. He might need a W series thinkpad for that.

Would this need a cooler? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-2-Duo-Extreme-SLAZ3-2-8Ghz-X9000-800Mhz-6MB-cache-socket-P-/231782248689?hash=item35f74c70f1:g:bgwAAOSwuWVWE1JE

Also, is this even right to buy?
