New Processor compatible with older motherboard?

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08 GHz Processor and am looking to upgrade to a new Intel. I am wondering if I am able to install a newer Intel CPU onto my current motherboard, or are there different setups. I have heard that older AMDs have pins that the Intels do not. Will my motherboard be compatible with the a new processor?

No that would be as trying to fit an Audi engine in to a nissan engine room.

Or.

Fitting a Chrysler vans 5 bolted rims on an 4 bolted saab 900 cab.

Intel uses a socket 775 for their P4 - to quad cores.

AMD use quite a few but their newest are AM2+

So the whole design of the sockets is diffrent, even if you could (not likly) bend the CPU into the other, the pins have a whole diffrent type. And the pins are not lokated at the same way either.

Intel = socket 775

AND(new) = AM2+
