Put in a Xp 2000+ should I reinstall windows?
 

Hi,

Yesterday I purchased a Xp2000+ and installed it, it is running fine no problems.

However I once remember reading thatI needed to re-install windows If I were to put in an XP chip.

So should I re-install windows?

Windows XP pro.

Thanks

If you changed only the CPU without the MoBo then *No* you don't need a reinstall.

Well, actually I am having problems, any time I try to play a game I get an error or it exsist itself.

However I did change motherboard but it ws the same board( from another machine I have) it was a higher revision so it could accept my XP.

So I guess I did change the board also.

Well, if it is the same board with the same chipset i think you are on the safe side ..

About the crash ..
1/are you sure that the HS is installed properly
2/do you have enough juice (Watts) for the new CPU/
3/try clearing the BIOS

Please give us your system's specs ...

Actually I had overclocked a little to high for my systems licking

What is the standard Voltage on a XP 2000+??

XP2000+ standard voltage is 1.75v

Thank you very much for your help. :)

What was the chip the XP replaced? I think if it's an older Athlon (non-XP) then you should reinstall Windows so it'll recognize that your current CPU does SSE.

Otherwise, if you had an earlier Athlon XP you shouldn't have to reinstall.

I had a t-bird 1.33

But wcpuid sees it has SSE, or is that irrelevent?
