CPU upgrade with WinXP

markv
I'm told that you can upgrade CPUs without reinstalling WinXP. Is there any procedure for this? Maybe uninstalling certain hardware before the upgrade and allowing WinXP to recognize the new CPU hardware? I couldn't find anything on microsofts site.

Xeis
Ok, I'm not too good with computers so I had my friend help me install a new video card and some more memory, but it seems like it hasn't changed. Now my cpu usage is at 100%, even just using mozilla.
