I would like to upgrade a Pentium 4 HT processor with an Intel Core i7. Is this possible or would I need to upgrade the motherboard from a 32 bit to a 64 bit?

Hi,

Yes you would need to upgrade your motherborda. Not form 32bit to 64 bit. But because teh socket is different. depending on the i7 you want you will need a 1366 or 1156 socket motherboard.

Hope this helps.
