I am upgrading from a AMD 3000+ XP cpu to a AMD 4000+ 939 cpu. Will the upgrade make it impossible to use the factory version of Windows I have? If no, do i need to make changes in anything after installation?

Probably not. Windows activation will think you're trying to install that XP on a second computer and fail.
