Is it posible to upgrade my Celeron:M 1.5g (dolthan) for a faster CPU like Core Duo On my Toshiba Satellite M30X? Do OcUK sell mobile CPU's?

OcUK used to sell mobile CPUs although I can't see any on the site at first glance. Even if they did you would need to be sure that your motherboard could cope with the upgrade or you could flash the bios to allow it. I don't think it is all that easy either but it might be possible.

That was for overclocking reasons more than anything else. You can upgrade the cpu, but you need to check that the heat capacity of the new cpu is suitable for the laptop, and that the bios of the laptop supports the cpu too. The socket should be fine, but it's worth checking.
