Macbook pro processor upgrade?

I have a model A1150macbook pro 15" with a core duo 2.0 processor and i want to know if it is possible(I know they sodder them down) and what type of processor I would be looking for and a site I could buy it would be useful Thanks in advance

Sorry, but you cannot upgrade the processor of macbook pros or most other laptops. They solder most parts (except for the hard drive, battery and RAM) onto laptops so that you can't change them. Even if you could some how get it off and find a way to get one on, I doubt you would be able to find one to put on it. If you want a faster processor, you'll have to buy a new macbook pro.
