X2 3800 - XP reinstall?
I've done this exactly once, but XP automatically detected the dual-core CPU
and installed the multiprocessor HAL for it. (This was XP Home Edition, with SP2 slipstreamed onto it.) Verify afterwards that two CPUs appear in Device Manager, and/or that you get two CPU usage plots in the Performance tab of Windows Task Manager (cntl-alt-del). Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn. "Dan" wrote in message ... Should i reinstall XP Pro after upgrading to a new dual core cpu (currently have a Winchester 3200)? Or does XP take care of things? Dan
