The replacement control processor unit will either:
1. Work
2. Not work
The bios has to recognize the processor for it to work.
In either case, XP installation will not be affected.
Removing and installing the cpu fan is not fun. Be sure not to damage it.
If the fan is not appropriate, replace it.
If the processor is HT capable, and the bios recognizes that, you will have
reinstall XP w/SP2 to use the asset.
There is no driver.

OK, actually it's second hand. My ailing Celeron system is a socket 478
and I
have been given a P4 socket 478 which I think gives me another 6 months
before I have to blow the dust off my wallet.
My question is: If I flip the top off my PC and simply swap the
processors,
will I be creating a raft of problems which will end in a BSOD, or should
XP
manage the change and install the correct processor driver automatically?
Has
anyone done this before? What is your feedback?
Thanks !
