Actually, Windows might tell you that it thinks you are using a new
computer because too many hardware components changed, which requires
you to call a telephone number to get a code to make your Windows
installation genuine again, but Linux should usually Just Work, even
without an SMP kernel. Of
FWIW, some more recent distros (such as F9+) have SMP support enabled in
the native kernel, so there is no SMP kernel. Check your distro for your
kernel's capability.
It would behoove us to be more specific when talking about linux.
Distros vary, and versions vary within distros. Speaking of

With modern CPU's the Linux world tries to write fro multi-core anyhow
just to make the most use of the core itself. i think when tweaking

well,
on windows, the process is pretty transparent. just plug in the new CPU
and go (it may give you a
detected new hardware dialog, but other than that you are G2G).
