Have to disagree in that changing a MOB + CPU is no big deal, you have to be aware of numerous things,
is the MOB the same format i.e baby AT, ATX etc
Is the power source/connector the same
if going to an AMD CPU you will almost certainly need new power supply
Is the type of memory for the new MOB the same as the old
Is your existing Video card PCI or AGP
Is your sound card PCI or ISA
There are probably a few other things that you should check

BEFORE you buy a new MOB and CPU!
