Default Upgrading my computer to a motherboard/mobo. with an i7 950 CPU...

Hello!

I am thinking of replacing my current motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc. to an
Intel i7 950 CPU, its motherboard, and new RAM. I am still going to use
my old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 (don't need 64-bit and newer Windows
at this time since my old softwares still work). Is this going to be OK?

I can't decide which motherboard to go with:
1. Newer GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (less stable and more bugs?)
2. Older EVGA X58 FTW3 132-GT-E768-KR (more stable and less bugs?)

My current computer specifications (primary computer) details can be
found at http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt ... I do not
overclock/OC, tamper with hardware settings, etc.

Thank you in advance.
