Single CPU to Dual CPU

[Nikumba]

Quick question, currently running a server with 1 x 2.4Ghz xeon, going to change it and go to dual 2.8ghz xeons.

Now the 2.4 is hyperthreaded so I am assuming that it has the multiprocess kernel, if that is the case i should be able to change the processors and have no issues?

Or is it best to reinstall?

Cheers for any help

It should have no problem whatsoever. If, by chance, you were running a uniprocessor kernel on the HT proc you would just need to install a SMP kernel. Many distros now ship with SMP kernels by default, including Ubuntu.
