hello,
is upgrading the cpu as simple as just dropping the new one in and im done?? or do i need to mess with mother board drivers and bios??

i have a asus m2n-e and a AMD 3800+ AM2. i was just wondering what all is involved in a cpu upgrade.

I have been to the asus web site and they have some many drivers on there i didnt know what was what :?

and why so many cpu's?? 3800, 4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800 5000, 5200... 6000... hard to make heads or tails of what and it seems like a lot of them have close to the same specs too.. from a newbies point of view anyway :?
