I was told today that in Win 2000, when you upgrade your processor you need to reinstall Win 2000.
They went on to say that when you install, that the OS reads the BIOS for the cpu speed. Then if you upgrade the cpu, that information doesn't change with the new proc.
Hmmmmm.....
I was aware that the OS, 2000 or not, check the BIOS during installs to check for a required minimum cpu speed. I was always lead to believe that the hardware, OS, and applications ran at what ever the cpu cycles at.
Are they right, will 2000 control the over all speed to what cpu the original istall was on?
