Can anyone give me a name of a quad core socket p cpu that i can get for around
£50 ($83 us dollars)? I'll prefer an intel core 2 quad/extreme.

That all depends if your laptop can handle a C2Q... and I doubt you could find one for that cheap, since not even decent desktop C2Q can be found for quite that cheap really, and mobile ones are usually more expensive than desktop counterparts.

What about the best dual core i can get for £50?

It comes with stock options of:
T7100, T7250, T7300, T7500, T7700, or T7800

And from this guy's unofficial research:

Yup, 800mhz fsb is your limiter.
