2) Questions and Answers : Windows : CPU upgrade on a box running CPDN (Message 8225) Posted 31 Jan 2005 by old_user14193 Post: One of the boxes I run CPDN on is my BDC. It is a very slow PII box but up to now this was not a problem for me. It looks like I will need to do a powerleap upgrade. No chnge in OS, nor motherboard. Will a CPU only change cause the current model to reset or will it just continue along? TIA Bob
