I've just removed my old Celeron processor and put a Pentium 4 in it's place. Is there anything I need to do in Linux now? I know it may sound stupid but the Pentium 4 obviously has more 'features' then the Celeron and I was wondering whether i'd have to reinstall the kernel or something. Also can anyone recommend a good CPU temp monitor for Linux? I don't care whether it's CUI or GUI. On the graphics side of things I want to install a PCI nVidia card to replace the integrated Intel graphics. What will happen if I simply install the nVidia card and switch on? Will X even load? Will I have to configure VESA first and then install the nVidia card? Then once I am in the X environment, install the proper nVidia driver? Thanks
no idea, i would have thought it would just work just make sure the onboard grafx are disabled in the BIOS then install as normal with the nvidia card
The kernel has an option where you state what cpu you are using though im sure the celeron and the p4 will be under the same category.
As i was told in my motherboard swap thread, the kernel should load the necessary modules automatically, (which, by the way, worked flawlessly).
Ahh, far enough. Modules will load up automatically, I think! When I did it it was the first time the kernel had been compiled so maybe thats why I had to specify my cpu.
