I'm thinking of upgrading the CPU in my machine running 6.0-RELEASE with an
SMP kernel.
Is it a matter of powering down the machine, swapping chips and powering up?
Is there anything else I would need to do ahead of time or after the
upgrade? Will I need to recompile world, kernel or ports?
I currently have a 2.8 GHz P4 Prescott (520) and I'm thinking of replacing
it with a 3.6 GHz P4 Prescott (560J). Both are 32 bit LGA 775 chips. The
motherboard is a SuperMicro P8SGA.
