    I have a HP Pavillion Windows 7 8G Ram with an i3 CPU. I have a computer in the garage that is in-op, seems like the Mother board.is n.g, if the cpu, an i5 is good, would I be able to switch the two?

    well first of all if both cpus can be taken off the motherboard and not soldered at it.
    second are they same factor??
    intel makes 2 diferent socket for their mobile cpus
    third are the watt the same??
    you do not want to put a higher watt cpu to your mainboard

    well if all three are yes
    then you can switch
