Hey everyone,

Well I decided to pick up a 4200+ X2 since I need to get at least another year or so out of my socket 939 machine and this will do the trick. I've been searching around and haven't seen anything, but anything I need to be aware of on this install? Is it pretty straightforward, take the old one out and drop in the new processor? Will the bios just recognize the new chip or do I need to do anything before hand? Thanks!

Steve

edit: This is an OEM processor, so there's no instructions or drivers or anything, do I need to update drivers?
