|  Re: E6420 to Q6600 depends sometimes yes, instal the cpu, see if your os will pick up the new chip, if it doesnt reset your cmos if it still doesnt then reformat.

| Re: E6420 to Q6600 Yeah, I am kinda holding off till I find my OS disk. It would suck to drop in a new CPU and Vid card and be Axxed out.

| Re: E6420 to Q6600 How likely is it that I have to reinstall windows? I am feeling kinda lazy since I am sick and was wondering what the guestimated percentage of NOT having to reinstall OS?
