Hello,

Do I need to reinstall Windows XP Pro after I replace the processor from a
P4 northwood to a P4 Prescott and memory upgrade ?

I'm replacing the processor because it gives me overclocking errors as soon
as I try to set BIOS for turbo mode, or increase the memory speed to where
it is rated for.  My CPU and memory are DDR400, but all I can get is 266.
I've read that the Prescott processors are more forgiving and are a
technology upgrade.

I'm going to add 2 Gbytes of memory to the 1 GB that is already there.

Any suggestions or advise?

thanks,

Shaun
