Currently i am using single core Intel Pentuim 4 3.06GHz socket 775 CPU, and want to upgrade it to a new Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 2.7GHz 800FSB Socket 775 2MB 2x1MB L2 Cache Reta. I just wanted to know what is the procedure to upgrade it. The OS which i am using is XP home Service Pack3. I heard many things about upgrading from single to dual. First thing which i heard is that to plug in now , but it was only running as a single core cpu. Second thing was that i should reinstall the windows , I have the OS cd so thats no an issue. Third thing was that i have to download a program named HAL which might need to be upgraded.
Please give me some suggestions how to install them.
I have the knowledge about how to install it on the motherboard and apply the thermal paste , i am only worried about OS.
