Hi,

I am running OpenBSD on an AMD K5-166 now.
I found an AMD K6-200. Can I just switch the CPU, without needing to
re-install the OS? Do I need to make any changes in the OS itself
after the switch?
I know in Windows I wouldn't, but I am not sure about the inner
workings of UNIX.

Thanks in advance.
