You should perhaps ask this in the Dell forum. However generally a Laptop CPU isn't upgradable.
i have asked this in the dell forum 3 times and no replies so i tried here

Once you get that down pat I read http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dycwm53&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&kc=productdetails~xpsnb_m1730 which shows the m1730 with the t9500.

Same fsb so should work see if your freind will alow you to try it before you buy...
asuming the voltage is the same then should not hurt chip or laptop. Be very carefull when inseting chip, must not drop chip in to socket above 5mm. just make sure the chip is aligned and flat to socket.
