Definitely do what Mike says... it's best to establish a stable benchmark before you start overclocking. In fact, I would recommend using it at the stock voltages and timings for a week or more (for me, it was more like 9 months) before you start OC'ing.
This will sound like a "duh" question and I'm sure you've already done this, but make sure your new CPU socket is compatible with your old motherboard. I ask because in my experience larger, more worth-while jumps in CPU's usually involve a new socket type which requires a new mother board, which sometimes requires new memory with new timings, etc. etc. $$$... this is why my wife hates it when I talk PC upgrades. ha!

Thanks for the help guys! I already made sure the socket (Good ol' LGA775) of the CPU matched my board. I call this cpu "new" but for most people here it is an outdated cpu but its the best my board can handle. It should be good enough to where I won't need to overclock... hopefully! It took a lot of reading to understand overclocking and once I had my current one OC to my standards, I forgot how to do it since  I will go ahead and reset the mobo settings in the bios back to default, thanks again for the help!! And I'm right there with ya Trevor, at this point, nobody knows I have even bought a new cpu
