No, that will not work.
The fastest CPU that your machine can take is T7600.

You may want to post a WTB (want to buy) ad in the forum's Marketplace.
T7600 holds it price well...you're looking at $70-80...
Honestly, you're likely better off getting a SSD and a cheaper CPU like T5600 or T7200...SSD will yield much more of an evident performance gain than the CPU.

They don't need to be defragmented...
