Question about Windows Vista when upgrading CPU
Dear All,
Previously I upgraded my Windows XP to Windows Vista under AMD Athlon 64 system, now I would like to upgrade my CPU to 64x2 under the same motherbroad. I want to ask if this will affect the Windows? Do I need to buy another Windows Vista License to make this CPU upgrade? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Kin |

If you get any messages about an invalid license, you may need to call MS
(toll free) and tell them what you did regarding hardware changes. They will fix it... no new license at all. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... You will not need another license.

No, you wouldn't need to buy another license. You MIGHT have to reactivate
Vista at the most, which might require a phone call to Microsoft by Phone Activation. -- Dustin Harper http://www.VistaRIP.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Kin" wrote in message ...
