You can't upgrade the CPU in a laptop. What you have is what you have.

That looks to be a desktop http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/inspiron-530s/pd

You should be able to upgrade the CPU, looks to be a Intel G33 Express chipset in that system.

At least one review model had an Intel E5200 / 2.5 GHz CPU, so at least that one will work for you. What does NOT look to be supported is Quad Core CPUs, Dual Core only. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Inspiron#Inspiron_530s

Leave it to Dell to pull the old 'switcheroo'. The only Inspirons I've ever known are laptops.
