| 812699 | 2009-09-22 05:07:00 | If you have, did windows need re-activating or reinstalling? Or a repair / whatever its called?? Or will it play nice and just pick up the Quad, and work as usual? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 812700 | 2009-09-22 05:17:00 | i think it might depend on what you were gettin, like if it was e6600 to q6600 it might be ok but if its completely different cpus then probaly a reinstall. With vista? |

| 812701 | 2009-09-22 05:20:00 | Yup Vista a dual core E5200 to a Q8400 quad | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 812702 | 2009-09-22 05:24:00 | I changed my e6600 for a 6750 when me and a mate were messing around with overclocking and that was fine, but thats about all i know | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 812703 | 2009-09-22 05:27:00 | went from a 1.8 dual core to a 2.4 quad core with no issues - the only side effect was my games and video editing went much faster :p | MAC_H8ER (5897) | ||
| 812704 | 2009-09-22 05:27:00 | Try it and find out. I have put in new hardware and sometimes it needs reactivating and sometimes not. I even have had to reactivate for no reason. :) |

| 812706 | 2009-09-22 05:35:00 | Well guess I'll try it and find out :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 812707 | 2009-09-22 06:01:00 | I think you need to change more than one piece of hardware for re-activation..... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 812708 | 2009-09-22 06:08:00 | Nope, not at all. Went from E6750 to E8400 to Q6600 to Q9450 and now E8600.....no need to reactivate at all. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
