I have an ASUS A7V8X MX SE board and AMD 2500 processor, stock heat sink and fan.
My MB specs are here. http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/so...7v8x-mx_se.pdf
It says I can use up to a AMD Athylon 3200.
Can I simply unplug my 2500 chip and plug in a 3200 chip?
Do I have to do any set up or tweaks to the bios or anything?
Is this as simple as it sounds , unplug and plug in another one?

Thanks.

PS I thought of overclocking the 2500, but never did it. In the future, I may over clock the 3200 if my MB can take it.
