If they have the same pin-count and the same voltage, then you might as well try it, although some motherboards have jumpers one can set so as to accommodate different CPUs with different voltage requirements and speeds. For the latter you should check the motherboard's manual (it may be on the web if you do not possess a copy). One of the reasons I suggest just doing it to find out is because I did exactly that (I replaced a generic 33MHz 486 [/proc/cpuinfo could not determine the manufacturer] with a Intel 486 DX2) and sure enough, it worked!
