Answer: Back in the old days, you'd need to configure the motherboard's bus speed, clock multiplier, and CPU voltage to accommodate each new CPU you installed. Today, newer systems automatically detect CPUs each time they start, and BIOSes (Basic Input/Output Systems) automatically tailor these systems based on the CPUID code that CPUs return at start time. As long as you install a suitable CPU, your system should identify and enable it accordingly. |
