Upgrade laptop CPU

I would like to upgrade the CPU in my laptop.
It is a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6841.

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5550
1.83GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB
Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset

Obviously, I want a faster processor. However, faster ones usually also have faster FSBs. Is it possible to put a 800MHz or 1066MHz FSB CPU in a 667MHz socket?

The PM965 chipset will definately support 800 FSB, but need to do a little research on the 1066 FSB.

edit: Looks like it only goes up to 800 FSB. I've considered either a T8100 (2.1GHz/800FSB) or T8300 (2.4GHz/800FSB) to upgrade my T2370.
