Hi mate! I have done almost the same thing. I have got Q6600 (bought few months ago, but maybe I was dazed or what...don´t know why I bought this crap..) so last week I bought Q9550. I was prepared to reinstall my w7, but just tried to start my PC first without reinstall....and everything seems to be fine! :) Of course, for your better feeling, you can reinstall w7, but if you have some difficulties with it, you don´t need to do it. Just update your windows performance index and watch the system behaviour to be sure...it should be enough mate :)

Have a good time and greetings from Prague!
