“Can the processor be upgraded to I-3 or I-5 ^from the Athlon???”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• No. The I3 and I5 CPUs are by Intel; the Athlon is by AMD. They use completely different sockets, so to go to an Intel CPU, you would have to replace the motherboard. Even some of the Intel I3 and I5 CPUs use different sockets, but none match the AMD Athlon sockets.

• The technician told me I could but the processor isn’t covered by total tech. If you’re a member, the labor is free.
