Hello and welcome to the ThinkPad List. I don't have specific help for
you, but I know this issue of CPU upgrades in the 600 series has been
discussed a bunch in the past. Check out the list's archives to find
related information.

[From the list's FAQ]

Also, please send plain text messages to the list.
