Upgrade CPU on current machine easy?

like say i have a computer with amd athlon64 3200+ and i want to upgrade the cpu to dual core cpu...... how easy or how hard to replace the old cpu with the new cpu?

is it a hassle? do i jus take out the old cpu and stick the new cpu in and press it down and like that? or what? is it difficult?

do i have to take every component out before i can install the new cpu? do i have to take out some drive and wires ect.. ?

Once you find out which cpu your motherboard will support it's just a matter of taking out the old cpu and putting the new one.

Make and model of the computer or the Motherboard. They made a Athlon 64 3200 in socket 754-939 and AM2.
