Maintance Problem
Hi,
It's only possible to use the other processor if they are of the same pin/socket configuration, the motherboard has to support it. As you are making a major system change, you will likely need to reinstall Vista. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "wmauctions" wrote in message ...
