Packard Bell MV35 - dual core CPU upgrade!(need help)

[Nicolae]

Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum and really hope to solve my problem here.
I own a old laptop and I've just changed it's processor from an Celeron M410@1.46 Ghz to a Intel Pentium Dual Core T2060@1.6 Ghz. My problem is that the CPU is not properly recognized, it is assigned as a Celeron by the Bios and runs at 800 Mhz (6x 133bus). In windows it is seen as 2 processors by device manager but it has only one working in task manager, and yes I have checked the view graph by CPU but to no avail. I would really like some help on making the Bios recognize my new processor.
Details:
Manufacturer: Packard Bell
Model: EasyNote MV 35
Bios: Insyde Software Corp. V1.07 , it can be found here.
Potential Donor: from MV46 here or from MZ35 here.

I have tried playing with uniextract to see the files in the bios(as it is an *.exe file) but I'm no expert so that I can swap the CPU code and make it work.
It is very important for my research to have both cores working, and I will be grateful if somebody can help me.

1234s282, thank you for your help.
I've managed to change the mulltiplier in windows from 6x to 12x so the processor runs @ 1.6 Ghz stable but only in Win 7 (in Win Xp Sp3 it does not boot).
I am so discouraged right now, I really would have liked to make it work, as it is of sentimental value.

I've found this website that says to have the decompressing utility for the bios module. I for one don't really know how to use the files in there but maybe someone here can.
I have attached the BIOS of my laptop with a tool found on this website.
Thanks for anyone trying to help.

sorry but i think that tools too old - using the extract command doesnt achieve anything

none of the other commands do much either
