No, the chipsets are fundamentally different.
The aforementioned information is actually incorrect. But, you still can't do it.

Not true. In minis, you can drop a C2D in place of the stock CD or CS. Both Core Duo and Core 2 Duo use Socket M in the Napa platform.
No they're not; the only real difference is the processor itself. The problem is that the CPUs on Apple laptops are soldered in place.
Edit: Damn you and your fast fingers, flopticalcube.
Soldered Processor removal is EXTREMELY difficult, and re-soldering on a new chip wold be near-impossible for the average computer enthusiast.
Socket CPUs are your friend, Apple. Sockets are your friend.
