    You just need a motherboard with the same socket. It doesn't matter if it is not the exact same model.
    I think you would need an LGA775 socket. So something like this would be fine:
    http://komplett.ie/Komplett/product/ZKB_01COM/15_MOBO/02_INTEL/productdetails/20004673/ASUS_P5P41T_LE_Motherboard_ATX_LGA775_Socket/90_MIBB00_G0EAY00Z/default.aspx

    As far as assembly is concerned you should be fine if you look at a couple of the links in the stickies about this. The fact you will be disassembling your computer will help too, since you will see how it all hooks up (though the exact layout of the new board would presumably be slightly different)

    edit: Well form factor might also be an issue I suppose! If you have a micro atx for example an atx board such as the one I linked might not fit into your case. Check what sizes your case supports, and if the boards contain sufficient slots/ports for your uses.
