Windows Installation Quick Q

Had a quick search, but couldn't find an answer (Im certain this has been asked 101 times though :rolleyes:

).

If i install with a single core CPU, can I change to multicore without a reinstall ?

Cheers, quick yes or no would be great, can find how when the time comes

95% of the time you do not need to reinstall after adding a dual-core CPU.

Thanks

Low end AM2 X2s sold out (where i got the rest of my gear from anyway), so I got a £15 Sempron 3000 to tide me over, MCE takes a while to setup, and it would be a PITA to have to re-do everything in a month or two.
