CPU upgrade with WinXP

Recommended Posts

I'm told that you can upgrade CPUs without reinstalling WinXP.

 

Is there any procedure for this? Maybe uninstalling certain hardware before the upgrade and allowing WinXP to recognize the new CPU hardware?

 

I couldn't find anything on microsofts site.

 

It shouldn't matter, but it is a dual CPU mbo, going from PII's to PIIIs.

You're upgrading from dual Pentium II's to dual Pentium III's - but using the same motherboard right?

 

XP shouldn't have a problem with this. It can be a little picky if you are upgrading from one processor to two, but in your case it already knows about two CPUs so should already have loaded it's SMP kernel.
