Is there anything I will need to do to my motherboard when I switch out my single core 3200+ for whatever dual core I end up getting?

 

BIOS changes, or Windows patches or something?

Amd dual core driver (google that phrase and it will be an obvious download)

and maybe a reinstall of windows if it continues to misbehave after the driver is installed.

Oh, check your bios in case there's a setting you have to enable for multi-core processors ... alot of bioses detect it automatically, some don't.
