I have a 2.6 HT P4 CPU / 2BG DDR Dual Channel RAM on an Intel Mobo 478 socket. I need to upgrade to a 64 bit machine to use some new software. Can I just get a new mobo and CPU? If I do that, can I just hook my HD and everything up to it? I am a bit of a Noob when comes to the hardware stuff.

98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.

yes, you need to get a new motherboard and CPU. If you still want to use your existing memory, then you have to make sure that you get a new motherboard that supports DDR, not DDR2
