There are A HUGE number of different factors to check and see. Are they the same socket (Socket 6, Slot 1, Socket 7, LGA775 so on), within that are they the same model (both Pentium or both Pentium II or both Pentium III and so on). Honestly, judging by the frequencies you ARE NOT going to be able to swap them, they will be COMPLETELY different systems.
