Update: Grabbed a Core 2 Duo 6400 instead... I've just re-installed Windows XP... would XP be ok just with a CPU swap? or should it be better if i just do a Fresh Installation Again after i install the Core 2 Duo?

You can check if it works, but if you have no precious data, and if all your drivers are available, I would rather do a fresh install just to be sure to start from a very clean state.
