    According to Dell that model is a Latitude D520 Notebook/Laptop, somewhat an older model that looks just a bit newer than my Latitude D810.

    CNET had a review on it back in 2006.

    Finding a new CPU that will fit may be difficult, used ones may be problematic. And the BIOS may need an upgrade so as to support it, plug the Service Tag number in at Dell Support to check availability.

    You're welcome. I should have added that performance-wise there may not be a noticeable improvement with going from 1.83GHz to 2.00GHz.
