Dual core to i3

[agent2]

Hello,
will a i3 work on a dual core mother board if you change the socket how is that done

And i3 will not work on the motherboard and you can't change the socket itself you need to buy an entirely new motherboard.

Your current CPU runs on a LGA 775 board, the I3's are LGA 1156 motherboards.

Is it hard or even possible to change a laptop motherboard that supports dual core to one that supports i3-i7 or is it best to buy another laptop? see I just bought a Sony 18.5in laptop with dual core last year and realy like it and they don't make many laptops that big any more I use it for gaming and can't keep up anymore.
