I don't think a reformat is necessary, but you might need to go through your hardware manager, and delete the CPU from the list, and then shut down, replace the old CPU with the new one, and then let it find that one on the boot up.

What about if you change motherboards? Like P4 to A64 or AXP to A64?

That p4 i think is only fsb of 533 spend teh money towards a 3.0C fsb800. Dont get the presscot core since it runs alot hotter than the northwood. And it gives about the same performance. The northwood is better for oc than teh prescott becuase of northwood's lower temp

Only if his board supports an 800 fsb chip...otherwise he's going to get a very underclocked chip. Prescott does run warmer...but not a lot hotter. I'd still go with Northwood if you have the choice.
What board do you have whataguy?

the losing performance issue has been beat to death. If your drivers are installed and the old ones removed you cannot loose performance this way. Unless you believe in voodoo and magic.
