Switching CPUs

[sscroggin]

i have a intel core 2 E6400 currently installed but i have the E6600 just sitting there, can i just swap out the two processors? or will windows vista get it's panties into a bunch.

You're good, but remember you need to clean off the old thermal goop from the CPU cooler and apply fresh goop when you install the new CPU.

i swapped out an amd x2 for a phenomII quad in vista 64 - no issues at all.
