My son came back from school yesterday and his friend (who is pretty good on PCs) told him that having fitted an upgraded CPU its best to reinstall Windows. I can't think why but thought I would check here.
 
Well I didn't expect quite so many responses!

I've been checking some old CPUs to make sure they work ok so put in three different ones in one evening and it just didn't occur to me I might need to reinstall! Lets hope XP doesn't think its a hardware change that requires re-activation!!!! (though I have got the retail copy).
