I'm upgrading to an old CPU from an older CPU. Just built a (somewhat) new computer!
Found out that my e4300 Core 2 Duo was a dud, because I put in a Celeron 430 I had on hand and it worked. Now, the Cele is a horrible POS and I just bought another Core 2 Duo. I downloaded everything on the CD that came with the mobo (it's a new mobo with an old socket). Will I even have to worry about the BIOS or is it as simple as putting in the CPU and then go?
