right now im my sig i have a socket 939 3200+ Athlon.

I had no idea that I can get a dual core chip in my aging 939 socket!

Now if I buy this will I have to re-install windows?:(

Thanks in advance.

I had a 3500+ 939. I upgraded to an X2 939, world of difference. It also didn't require me to reinstall. If anything a repair install.
 
Wow... I am pleased to see such fast response and good news!!!! Everybody was telling me I would have to re-install windows.

I think i might just get a new copper heatsink and this new chip and there I am dual core!

btw...I am dual booting with win XP PRO 32BIT And Win Vista Ultimate. In theory both OS's would find my new hardware like they would a new GPU Or RAM?
 
Thanks for the info..I will go to my local PC store to see if they have in stock if not newegg.com with new heatsink!
