I have a motherboard with a subpar amd chip and then I have a p4 3.6 laying around. Can I swap em out?

No. For one thing I'm sure the pin count is different on the 2 chips, as in Socket xxx.

no you can't. The architecture of the motherboards are totally different from each other. Plus it will not fit on the motherboard.
