The sockets are the same but the big thing is would the BIOS support the new CPU. Also, the Duo has a faster FSB so ram may not work.

The Duo is 667. It's not compatible because of the motherboard chipset.

The sockets are also NOT the same -- they are both Socket 479, but are electrically incompatible. Your best upgrade would be to put in a FSB533 Dothan.
