Upgrading to SMP Win2000

Recommended Posts

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?

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...

Sounds good to me. I wasn't sure about the resource kit but thank you for clearing that up. Thanks
