CPU upgrade - Phenom II X3 720
I am about to upgrade my AMD 5200 X2 with a Phenom II X3 720.
Will the new CPU be recognized by arch or should I worry about anything?

Linux doesn't store config's about hardware unless you put something in modprobe.conf, udev's set's up everything on bootup.
If it ain't broke, broke it then fix it.

Well, Arch's initrd is kinda customized to hardware, but the fallback one is generic. Nothing about the cpu though.

I had a similar question. With an Athlon X2-compatible motherboard, will I be able to use SSE4 if I upgrade to the Phenom II?
