"Hey, I have a 1.2ghz athlon, and I'm wondering if anyone has any good tech web sites regarding... different things I can do with this."
Right here.
"I have a cheap Gigabyte motherboard. What would be the best thing I can do with this?"
Tell us the model number and the experts here will advise you.
"Also... is overclocking the motherboard bus speed the same as upping the voltage? or are they different things? Thanks."
No. Two different methods to achieve overclocking. Increased bus speed to get overclocked and increased voltage to stabilize the CPU.
"Is it possible to swap a motherboard/processor and still keep the current components I have on my computer, running fine?"
Yes. But it is advised to do a complete 'fresh' install when changing the motherboard since there will be different components on the motherboard that will require different drivers. Doing a fresh install makes sure that all of the old drivers which exist on your system now are removed by the format/re-install.
