I'm upgrading my Athlon 3700 San Diego to a Denmark Opty 175 tonight (overclocking of course). I updated my motherboard chipset and bios drivers to the latest. Aside from just swapping out the two processors is there anything else I should do??? I'm hoping I don't have to re-install the OS.

Current setup:
Athlon 3700 @2.7Ghz
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
2G Xtreme Corsair Memory
EVGA 8800 GTS
WD 10,000
 
I would go to AMDs website and download the AMD Dual core XP driver, but other than that, you should be all set to wondering into the realm of dual-core.
 
there is also the dualcore optimizer and if you play games there are fixes for some games, in the forum it is stickied as the dual core gaming fix guide or something like that
 
Windows installed my Opty 165 automatically, don't think you need to do anything. I couldn't download AMD's driver cause I don't have Service Pack 2.
