Help
I have a single processor system running NT 4.0 and Win2000. I am planning on upgrading this computer to an SMP environment. Very simple question, will I need to reinstall the OS's just to switch to the SMP kernel? I thought I had remembered reading about something off the NT 4.0 resource kit that would perform the software side of this upgrade without requiring a reinstall. Anyone?

The is a Resource Kit tool for upgrading an NT4 box to SMP - look for something begining with "U"...
To upgrade W2K, how about downing the box...inserting the cpu, reboot, then run the upgrade from the CD...that's the safest way...
