replace cpu on debian etch
I am not a hardware person. I have an old AMD Athlon XP chip 2700 that just quit working (I think) on an ASUS A7V8X motherboard. If I replace with any socket A Athlon, say, a 2600, instead, same FSB and such, will I have to reinstall Debian, or will the same Kernel and install work okay with my current installation? I'm running Etch with the latest Etch and with whatever k7 kernels it gives me during normal updates. Thank you for any help.
