Best Answer

No, it is not possible to substitute an AMD processor for an Intel processor on the same motherboard. The two processors use different types of mounting sockets, so they are incompatible. It would be akin to trying to put an alternator from a Ford into a Toyota. If you want to move to AMD, you would need to replace both the processor and the motherboard, possibly the RAM as well (depending on whether the new motherboard uses the same speed and type of RAM as the old motherboard).
