The question is if I can flash my BIOS and replace it with coreboot? Or is coreboot not mature enough to handle laptops and my mileage may vary?
coreboot currently supports a few laptops based on the i945 chipset, but unfortunately not yours.
NVIDIA chipsets are the least likely to ever be supported by coreboot because NVIDIA doesn't release the required documentation.
flashrom may still work on your laptop, independently of coreboot.
