Going AMD to Intel would require you to purchase a new motherboard and perhaps some other items to support a switch in CPU. I did this a long time ago on a machine. My AMD MoBo died and the chipset/socket was old enough that I needed to get a whole new setup. I took the opportunity to switch back to Intel when I did and I had no problems. If you know enough to do your own hardware work then you'll be fine. Just look up any questions you have on the internet, there is plenty of info out there.Personally I'd just go spend the extra $$ to get the i7 already in a machine. You wont save money by doing it the way you're asking about. Going AMD to Intel would require you to purchase a new motherboard and perhaps some other items to support a switch in CPU.

Yes, you can! It is an Intel i5 4200U. Very good processor! And you have an 8GB ram. So don't worry about this.

Most notebooks have the CPU soldered to the motherboard. I installed this processor in a desktop PC. This media server is still running strong 4 years later. I would check the AMD website for socket comparability.Good luck with your upgrade.

The answer is yes, however it is better to just order core i7 model. These prices are specific to these prebuilt systems and come with CPU Core specified by model. You can always check out http://www.asus.com/Desktops/M11AD/specifications/

Yes, you can. But i recommend that try with a FX 6300 processor. is in this moment at same price.

You could, It would be bottle necked by your CPU. I'd look at getting a new mobo setup if possible

Yes these two CPUs are nearly identical. You should have no problem switching them out.

No the CPU and GPU are already built into the motherboard and cannot be replaced, all it needs is ram memory and a hard drive, as far as I remember you can't upgrade the processor

Side by side these two perform about the same. When the 1090t came out it was expensive as hell. You could probably get two FX8320 for that cost. You probably wouldn't see a real difference. Don't waste your money replacing your 1090t. If you're building a new system I would definitly go with the Fx. It has newer architecture, more cores, it is faster, and you can overclock the heck out of it stable. I have mine at 4.5ghz with the stock fan. Hope this helps

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

I would say no. The equipment is so outdated, that most websites ask you to update your browser, and when you try to update your browser it says your cpu does not meet the minimum requirements.

yes... if the processor is lga775 you can use a core 2 duo or dual core processors with this board... i did it

It kind of depends on how much money you got. If you want to save money then i would just update your motherboard bios and slap on a new FX 8 core CPU. But if you want to get the best performance, go with this http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3891#ov and then a FX 8 Core cpu. Hope that helps.

yes, the ASUS M5A99FX is what I have, running with an AMD FX4300 processor.

YES, BUT I WOULD GO WITH AN FX PROCESSOR. THEY ARE NEWER AND MORE POWERFUL.HERE IS THE SPEC INFO OF YOUR BOARD. (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68/)

Im certain your cpu can handle it. I would like to know if my i5 650 can....

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics
