Just wondering if there is anything besides the CPU FSB and the Socket Type that I should be looking at.
Comments are appreciated =)

Wattage, if your not using an aftermarket motherboard it may not be able to power most of the new processors.

Just going from a Core 2 Duo to a Core 2 Quad.

The Quad core I am looking at:

My MoBo: ASUS P5N-D

You should be fine with what you have, since you are already using your ASUS P5N-D, you won't have any socket issues.

Out of curiosity, what is your current CPU?
