Upgrading a T22?

Upgrading a T22?
I'm kind of in the dark ages with my thinkpad but I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the processor?
Right now I'm working with a 700 MHz P III and 256 MB ram.
I recently replaced the motherboard because some power surging problem so taking the thing apart agian wouldn't be a problem.
I know I could get up to 512 ram but I was wondering if I could upgrade the processor to 900 MHz or 1 GHz? And If I am able to would I have to upgrade the fan as well?
Pretend that I could pick up the processor for cheap.

Thanks for the help guys.
I did some searching over on forum.thinkpads.com and found that I may be able to upgrade to the 1 GHz processor but its not a definite. Some motherboards it works on and others it dosen't. They make it seem like the only way to find out is to try. So, thats what I'll do.

I did some searching a while back, one I found out how easy these ThinkPads are to get open. I could upgrade to a better, used, laptop for the price of a new processor...

Taking it all apart really isn't that bad. I got the processor for $50 shipped.
I did get some ram too. Also $50 shipped. I'll have 384 once upgraded.
If I would have waited, I could have got both cheaper but I don't really think $100 was that bad.
