ive just bought a new laptop as my old one had seen better days, still function well but had busted screen and fooked keyboard,

now my old laptop was fitted with an intel dual core processor and my new laptop is fitted with an AMD sempron processor.
is it possible to swap the cpu's over?

ive read on various forums that older motherboards are able to support both intel and AMD but newer boards can only use one or the other.

can anyone give me any advice?

 

Check your mainboard documents !! check with the new laptop supplier !!
they will know your laptop details and advice accordingly,
your not giving any info as to board details etc etc!!

 

sorry dude, ive not looked at it too much tbh,

i know its a compaq laptop,
the motherboard is a HP item.

ill try and get the full details

 

very unlikely to be honest

AMD processors and Intel processors use completely different socket types

 

Yeah i dout it aswell

 

nope, not able to be swapped

 

yeah thats the reason it will never work, sorry to say chap

 

no worries, thought id ask.

i managed to salvage the RAM from my old laptop and fitted them to the new one so not all is lost i guess,
new laptop was only using 1slot and was a very low 512mb.

im not great at this computer stuff but im learning, lol
