    If you can cool it enough, have the ability to modify the BIOS (if needed) and can get a power supply that can run it at it's max, it should be possible.

    See:

    The comparison above shows the i7 would be worth the swap (if possible) for mostly multi-core performance, but hardly worthwhile for single core usage.

    The comments section does have one individual ( https://disqus.com/by/vladtrld/) stating that an i7 is a possibility for that system though. ;)

    Good luck.
