CPU upgrade?

[Technomage]

well,
on windows, the process is pretty transparent. just plug in the new CPU 
and go (it may give you a
"detected new hardware" dialog, but other than that you are G2G).

As for linux. I don't know. a lot depends on the distro and possibly the 
version.
Opensuse and redhat tend to be the most stable in regards to this (at 
least their
later versions), debian might have one or 2 small issues (I encountered 
this already).

It all depends on what you have running I guess.
