Can i upgrade my AMD e-300 apu with radeon HD graphics 1.3 GHz to Intel Core i7 i5 or i3?

[Greymerlin]

I would like to use esignal's trading platform and the specs indicate using Intel Core i7 i5 or i3. I have AMD e-300 apu with radeon HD graphics 1.3 GHz. Can mine be upgraded? Do I really need to upgrade it? Is what I have close to the Intel Core i3?

You cant put an intel chip on a amd board. Plus your current cpu is BGA which means is soldered to the motherboard so its not upgradable.
