If you were going to a faster PIII-M or if you had a P4-M mobile board already, then sure. But there is no way you're going to be able to upgrade a PIII-M to a P4-M. There was a time when Intel had both the CPU and northbridge in a single package which made more upgrades possible... but I believe that stopped after the PII-M.
