I've decided to swap CPU's between two systems I have. I'd like to take an Athlon XP 2600+ and swap it with my 1700+ that's currently in the A7v266 mobo. Should I have to make any changes in windows or the bios before I do this?
It might be a good idea to clear your BIOS before switching processors just to make sure that there aren't any multipliers that could be detected wrong. Other than that, you should be fine.
