There's no guarantee the BIOS or even chipset in your laptop will support other processors. There were quite a few changes from MP4->MP4M->M. You might have some chance of getting an MP4M to work but the performance isn't much better. If I remember it mostly added reduced power modes, which makes me think your chipset isn't likely to support it.
If I found one on the cheap I might give it a try. Otherwise I'd put the money into something alltogether different. Buying the processor plus memory plus the used value of your laptop would be very close to that of a new laptop. Faster, cooler, more memory, bigger HD, etc.
