if your doing an upgrade from say a sempron to an athlon/ celeron to pentium then you may have to run a repair to get the installation working. if the processor is just a higher spec version of the one you already have you should be ok
Yea,I'm switching out the Sempron 3100+ over to a Athlon 64 3400+(could not get the 3700+ supplier ran out} and I finally got xp-pro setup just right,oh well ,hopefully I can get away with a repair. I guess I'll find out on Tuesday. thanks for the info Sypher.
Well,I got it and it is now installed.It went in without a hitch and is singing at 33c idle.Thanks guys for your assistance.
