Yes.
AMD Turion is made for moblie/laptop copmputers. AMD Athlon has had mobile versions, but most of them are made for desktop computers. AMD Turion CPUs put out less heat than AMD Athlons (at the same speed) and there are some motherboards that do support them, but not all.
If you want the CPU for a dektop computer, unless you know that the Turion is supported, Athlon is the CPU you want. Almost all laptops are sold 'preassembled' and as such you have no choice of what CPU is in the box (apart from the model/speed chosen).

athlon
AMD Turion 64 X2 vs AMD Athlon 64 X2 I am buying a laptop both have the same specifications but different processors which should I buy?
The Turion series is designed for laptops, and thus consumes less power while producing less heat, the Athlon series is a desktop class processor, and thus consumes more power and produces more heat. For a laptop, I would recommend the Turion, but the Athlon will be slightly faster at the expense of very poor battery life.

Assuming you're talking about the AMD Athlon II X2 250 and the X2 265, yes. They both run on Socket AM3, and are fully interchangeable. Good idea on the upgrade, but for $1 more on Newegg, you can buy the AMD Athlon II X3 440, which is a triple-core processor on the same socket. A dollar more for a whole extra processor? Sounds like a good deal!
