I am thinking of upgrading my CPU to a higher speed. Right now I have a slow
Core Duo and the motherboard supports a much faster one. If all else remains
the same (motherboard, memory,etc) do I need to reinstall and if this is
necessary could I just do a repair install Vista as I could with XP?

Thanks
 
SST,

No need to reinstall the operating system, it resides on the hard drive.
When major components are replaced, the system looks at the total.
 
Thanks so much for the reply and help.
