Changing CPU

If I change my CPU would I have to reinstall Windows? :confused:

If your going from single core to dual core then it would be a good idea. But I'm pretty sure you don't if it's still in the same class.

It supports HT. Does that make it dual core?

No, and no you don't need to reinstall windows.

I always reformat when I change CPUs... but it's not needed.
