re: changing CPU and motherboard Thursday, August 15, 2002 at 9:32 am Posted by Bob B (2307 messages posted) Define problems - it is very likely that you will have to reactivate (unless you have Pro Corporate edtition). Also, it is possible that the motherboard and processor will be different enough that your OS will not like to run as installed and may have to be reinstalled. I personally would back up my data and plan on a full reinstall just to make absolutely sure...

He used the same CPU, same brand mother board, but with a updated bios. He even reinstalled the OS. Telling me it was the only way to be sure every thing would work properly.
