Hi. I'd like to upgrade my Q5000 with a new processor. It has not warranty, so no problem for Fujitsu-Siemens.
Could I use a Core 2 Duo 7200? Does it need a BIOS update? If yes, where can I download it?
Thanks and best regards.

Core 2 duo 7200 does not go.
Backwards Compatibility
Intel's Core 2 Duo mobile launch is one of those very rare moments in Intel history where a brand new CPU is introduced and it is backwards compatible with existing motherboards.
If you've got a Core Duo notebook with a PGA Socket-M interface, all you should need is a BIOS update and a Core 2 Duo CPU to upgrade your notebook.

If you've got a 945GM or 945PM equipped notebook, then the Core 2 Duo should be a drop in replacement for your Core Duo processor.
