Adding a faster CPU.
This is a discussion about Adding a faster CPU. in the Windows Hardware category; Hi guys I have just got my two 750E processors today. Now I jave to remove my old 450s. Will I have to do a system format because I have added a new CPU and NT ( Windows 2000 ) will operate correctly? I have heard people swapping CPUs with no problems, but Windows 2000 I am no so sure about.

You wouldnt happen to have 450 xeons would you? I'm looking for one
The problematic change is from one to more-than-one CPU.
Changing the CPU type - as long as you change them all - is easy-peasy....just remember to power-down first.
------------------
SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM
SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb
IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem"
Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf)
SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value)
Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval)

OP
TLDTMS they are old Pentium II 450s not the Xenons sorry
YuppieScum, wouldn't Windows 2000 autodetect the change and install the modification by itself?

Nope, you gotta tell win2k that you have added a second processor but it's a piece of cake.
And you don't need to format.
