Question: I'm replacing my AMD CPU with a similar but not exactly the
identical one. Older one is 2.3GHZ, newer one is 2.8GHz, for example.

I have no problem with the mechanics of replacing the CPU, but I'm
wondering if any drivers, BIOS, etc need replacing.

I checked the ASUS site, and there is no newer BIOS than the one I
already have. Likewise chipset drivers are up to date in my system.

What else might I have to do when I replace the CPU?

Many thanks!

Jack

If all your drivers and BIOS are currently up to date, and your BIOS
supports the newer CPU, then you should have no problems at all. Don't
forget the new heat sink paste/tape :-)
