| | Re: Question about Windows Vista when upgrading CPU If you get any messages about an invalid license, you may need to call MS (toll free) and tell them what you did regarding hardware changes. They will fix it... no new license at all.

| | Re: Question about Windows Vista when upgrading CPU No, you wouldn't need to buy another license. You MIGHT have to reactivate Vista at the most, which might require a phone call to Microsoft by Phone Activation. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.VistaRIP.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Kin" <kinwai23@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7B12A8EE-8939-4A02-9A3D-40FDDB9BFC50@xxxxxx Quote: > Dear All, > > Previously I upgraded my Windows XP to Windows Vista under AMD Athlon 64 > system, now I would like to upgrade my CPU to 64x2 under the same > motherbroad.
