New processor?

Would it be super difficult putting in a new processor into an existing mobo with a processor already in it? Is that even possible and or worth it?
 
As long as you get the correct socket/slot, and stay within the limitations of your motherboard, it shouldn't be hard. The hardest part is just getting the heatsync off!

So when you say limitations of the mobo, what exactly do you mean? THis is my mobo

I would love to put in a amd 64 x2 4400 ish. Do you think it could take it?

It says "Supports up to 3500+, 3800+ Athlon 64 FX 53, or higher CPU"... so do you think that would support an amd 64 x2...they are the same socket so does that mean it would work or is there other stuff you have to look at too?
