Gateway Parts

I own a Compaq Presario F768WM notebook. Can I upgrade the CPU from AMD Athlon TK-57 to a AMD Turion TL-64?

When I first bought the laptop, it came with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 @ 1.9 GHz. I want to upgrade to a faster processor speed, but I'm not sure which processor is compatible with the laptop. I did some research and I found a PDF on replacing parts for that particular model. I found a list of processors with part numbers but I don't know if that's a list of compatible processors.

1. the turion TL-64 is compatiable with that notebook they are both S1 chips http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Turion_microprocessors the only problem i can forsee is maybe the extra heat may cause problems.
