I'm thinking of upgrading the CPU in my machine running 6.0-RELEASE with an SMP kernel. Is it a matter of powering down the machine, swapping chips and powering up? Is there anything else I would need to do ahead of time or after the upgrade? Will I need to recompile world, kernel or ports? I currently have a 2.8 GHz P4 Prescott (520) and I'm thinking of replacing it with a 3.6 GHz P4 Prescott (560J). Both are 32 bit LGA 775 chips. The motherboard is a SuperMicro P8SGA. ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E
