I would say, before, since you can't do it after if the CPU isn't supported by the currently installed bios, which it might be. I wouldn't take the change though unless you can verify that your currently installed version does support it, elsewhere. There are usually forum posts verification's on various sites where members do verify they've used specific processors on specific bios versions.
For yours, I'd upgrade it first, and this forum entry seems to indicate verification of compatibility all the way up to Intel Core 2 Duo T9900

Meaning what? It's an upgradeable socketed processor, I don't see what's so humorous. Am I missing something?

Oh, ok. I gotcha now. I thought maybe there was some hidden dimension to the OP's statement I wasn't seeing.
