Re: Upgraded to Dual-core - reinstall WindowsXP?

You may be able to boot XP, but it won't be running as well as it would
if you did a fresh XP install (not upgrade).

Why? Do you have a link or something to explain this? Thanks. JLC

*If* she changed the motherboard in addition to the cpu, *then* it would
have been smart to follow the instructions here:

which avoids reinstalling windows also.
