Each motherboard is Chip specific. If your motherboard is for an AMD then you will only be able to use AMD processors in it. If you want change your Processor then you would have to get the right motherboard for that processor.
AnswerProcessors (regardless of who makes them) have a set of electrical and communications standards which they use, and a physical design of the package. Processors which have the identical package, electrical characteristics, and bus communication standards can be interchanged with each other (provided the BIOS or PROM can properly understand the identity value the CPU has).
For a variety of reasons, mostly related to patents, interchangability these days (post 2005) is limited to processors from a single manufacturer, and within a "family".
Ultimately, you will have to refer to the MOTHERBOARD manufacturer's documentation to find out which CPUs can be used in that particular system.

Are notebook and desktop processors interchangeable?
Desktop processors can be changed. However, some laptops can have there processor changed, some cant.
Can you upgrade an Intel Pentium 4 to a 64-bit Xeon processor?
No. Xeon processors use different chipsets and sockets, thus they are not interchangeable with mainstream processors.
Are Pentium 4 class CPU interchangeable on the same motherboard?
Not necessarily. There have been three different sockets used for Pentium 4 processors (Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA775). They are not interchangeable without special adapters. Even when pin-compatible, motherboard updates may be necessary for the processors to actually work.
Are thickening agents interchangeable?
No they are not interchangeable
