EvilEyez 0 Posted February 10, 2000 I have a single processor system running NT 4.0 and Win2000. I am planning on upgrading this computer to an SMP environment. Very simple question, will I need to reinstall the OS's just to switch to the SMP kernel? I thought I had remembered reading about something off the NT 4.0 resource kit that would perform the software side of this upgrade without requiring a reinstall. Anyone? Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted February 11, 2000 The is a Resource Kit tool for upgrading an NT4 box to SMP - look for something begining with "U"... To upgrade W2K, how about downing the box...inserting the cpu, reboot, then run the upgrade from the CD...that's the safest way... ------------------ SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem" CL TNT1 AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value) Win2K build 2195 Retail (no 120-day eval) Share this post Link to post
