I'm sure a conroe processor would fit in a core 2 notebook.

why not? they are very small (65nm) and can be cooled with the same fan as the core 2 notebooks, with the arctic silver 5.

So, is it possible? (yay quad core notebooks)

I assume from your title that you mean you want to put a Conroe (desktop Core 2) into a laptop designed for Merom (mobile Core 2) processors. The fact that the processors are designed for different sockets means that you would have to replace the motherboard in order to put a Conroe into a laptop meant for Merom CPUs. But, if you were willing to do that, I see no problem.
