| Re: New CPU...new XP install ?? I agree. If you feel that your software installation was in good shape and running smoothly, there is no need to reinstall because of a cpu upgrade. Regards, -- Al

| Re: New CPU...new XP install ?? IMHO I would take the time to do a clean intall at some point down the road. Start fresh clear out the old drivers and ini files. |

| Re: New CPU...new XP install ?? For *just* the CPU, there's no problem. If you replaced the CPU and the motherboard, then yeah you may want to consider a re-install. The motherboard has many components on it that require different drivers and may do things different.
