Nope, it's usually just drop in and go. At the most you may have to update the bios on your board if it doesn't support your new CPU

The only time you may need to re-install is if you move from Single Core to Dual or Quad Core

Are you for reals? Just to get to dual/quad-core means you have to reformat! Ahh!

(Yes, I know you said *may*)
