if I upgrade from a P4 1.9A to a 2.4C (w/ hyperthreading) will I need to reinstall?

I was wondering, I have a 1.9A (400Mhz bus) laying around. I could build my new system with a 865PE motherboard then get a new CPU in a couple months.

but will I need to reinstall XP to enable hyper threading?
 
When switching MOBO's it is best to do a full reinstall...

You could however try the repair option under XP....


edit:

If you were currently using that 400 FSB in the 865, then NO, you would not need to reinstall xp to take advantage of Hyper Threading.
