Well im thinking about changing my motherboard, but i still want to use my old processor, but I am not sure what the socket type is.
Is there a way to do it w/o taking the actual processor chip off the motherboard?

try some search about your current processor type and it's compatibility with the socket on motherboard, so you'll find the type of the socket that you are using now.

For Windows XP, go to:
Start->Settings->Control Panel, then
double click the "System" icon,
look at the information displayed on the
"General" tab. This should provide some
information about your processor. From
there google for information about that
specific processor.

Depends what version of windows you are using.
Generally it can be checked using My Computer icon on the desktop. Right click the icon and select properties and then go to device manager. You will see all the hardware information on your computer.
