Not much of a macbook pro expert but I am up on laptops in general. I'd say no. If its a intel chip set which I assume it is then technically you could but at what cost? I mean the mobile chips are expensive... and replacing the chip is probably going to be difficult. The real deal is your gain is probably going to be non-existent. I mean if your running a 2Ghz chip (dual core) than what are you hoping for .2 Ghz - .5 Ghz more. Not worth it. You'd probablly better off selling it on ebay and buying a whole new system or upgrading something like RAM where you'd see real performance improvement. If your editing video or something intense then you might need every edge if so you might be better off upgrading the whole thing and getting a better video card as well.
