I have an Intel D975XBX2 motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU processor. I am thinking about upgrading the processor to a Quad Q6600 CPU.
According to Intel, the BX2 with latest firmware supports the Q6600 Quad.
If I pop in a Q6600, will Windows XP Pro SP2 run without a reinstall or going through the "repair" mode???
I have installed faster CPU's over the years with no issues. However, I was a little concerned since this is going from a 2 CPU to 4 CPU processor. Or does WinXP not know the difference?
Thanks in advance......
