CPU upgrade?

With Windows it would, but welcome to Linux, lol.  Most distros have already optimized their kernel for multi-core.  Those that havent will have a kernel package without, and a second one with a -smp in the name.  If your distro is one that has separate package and you don't have the smp kernel loaded, simply install the smp kernel.  However, most of the time now-a-days, its completely not needed.

Good Luck

Subject:  CPU upgrade?

Does anyone have experience upgrading CPU from Duo core to Quad core.
I would like to know if this upgrade will require a reinstall of the OS.
My Intel motherboard can handle both types of CPUs.
Linux or Windows the question applies to both OS?
Thanks anyone who can give me some insights.
