dead motherboard

recently returned from local computer repair guys who told me problem was due to power rails blown. Solution buy one of their second hand systems to replace my old second hand system. I can get my hands on another motherboard from ALMOST identical system so would like to know what will need to be done to swap boards.System is a Dell Optiplex 745 and replacement motherboard is from a Dell Optiplex 755. The two are physically identical but there are subtle differences in the boards.Both are Foxconn LS-36 old board is E4400 Core 2 Duo SLA 98 Malay 2.00ghz/2M/800/06 replacement is Core 2 Duo 6300 SL9TA Malay 1.86ghz/2M/1066/06. Operating system is Windows 7 Pro with 40gb hard drive and 2gb RAM. No extras just the basic system. Can this be done without too much trouble I am a newcomer to this and need to be " lead by the hand " thru the process
