hey guys Iam looking to upgrade my cpu from the q8200 to a q9550 or q9650 and Iam wondering if it will be just a cpu swap and I will be good to go? I do not think I will need to reformat my harddrive correct? the board should recognize the new cpu as well the operating system correct? I know along time ago when i upgraded my old p4 setup for some reason I needed to reformat because it would not boot up and Iam hopeing this wil not be the case again any feedback will be greatly appreciated cause as soon as i find and buy one of these cpu Iam hopeing to be good to go thanx Dragon
