I don't know for certain, but I doubt it very much. My experience of working on Packard Bell PC's is that they are not the most flexible in the world:

I certainly wouldn't invest in a new processor unless I had some certainty it's going to work. PC World distribute them and have in-store advice centres - you may wish to ask there.
