So I updated my BIOS, set my RAID back up, then rebooted. Everything fine at defaults.
I then installed the 175. No probs.
I was getting ready to go through the steps to change the HAL when windows game me a "new hardware detected" window. The new hardware was the "ACPI Multiprocessor". It said it installed it and asked me to reboot. I did.
Now the device manager reads my CPU as a ACPI Multiprocessor.
Question is: Do I still need to do the HAL upgrade/update?
And this 175 is running cooler than the 148. Go figure.

AFAIK, you only have to do that if XP doesn't recognize both cores. As long as both cores are seen in taskmanager (and your picture shows that to be true), I think you're ok. Don't quote me on that though. You can also use start----run----cmd-----msinfo32 and check that it sees a dual core AMD.
