Installing cpu question.

[jimmy_lazers]

This question may enrage the 'try searching brigade' but here it is anyway. Ive managed to get hold of a dual core 939 at not silly money. I really don't want to reinstall windows and all my programs because I've done it 4 times this year.
What's the easiest way to do it? unistall cpu drivers then pop it in?

Yep that will do it, ive done it myself in the dim and distant days of 939

Just install the new CPU and boot your system. I would check that you don't need a BIOS update first though. Only need to do a reinstall if your changing the system board to something with a different chipset.

Excellent, cheers, will check the for BIOS requirements.

Dont need to touch any drivers. I swapped out from a Sempron 140 to Phenom II x6 1090T no problem. Didnt even get a driver pop up. It just works

This, but as said before check and make sure you dont need a BIOS update first.

If you read my sig you'd see I have a crosshair IV formula. I got the board before the cpu had been released, bought a sempron as a stop gap.
