Well the online specs say this thing can take the Core 2 duo "E6x00" series but I was wondering if a E6320 would work

(wondering because the website has E6X00 not E6XX0)

It sure will.

The e6320 is nothing more than an e6300 with extra cache.

The creme de la creme of Socket 939:
Opty 185 @ 3.2GHz
SLI'ed GTS-640s, both flashed to 625/1458/1950
4GB PC3200
Blu-Ray/HD-DVD, X-Fi
A8N32-SLI Deluxe

I also have aquestion about Intel Core2Duo Processors.

I have an HP Pavilion Notebook dv9650us with a 1.5GHz Processor model: T5250. I want to upgrade it to a 2.5GHz processor model: T9300. Is my laptop compatible for installing the T9300?

(let me know if I should provide more information)

thanks.

You realize that the T9300 will cost you about $325-350, right?

The T5250 is a 667MHz FSB CPU, the T9300 is an 800MHz FSB CPU. Most likely, your laptop is based on an Intel 945 chipset which I don't believe supports 800MHz FSB. Have a look at this chart:

And here's the specs on the mobile 945 chipset:

If you were to install the T9300 & it actually worked, it would run at the reduced bus speed so the CPU would max out at 2.08GHz.

Hey, the T7600 (2.33GHz @ 667MHz FSB) is only $645...lol
