[ale] Is reinstalling my distro necessary?

[Geoffrey]

As someone else noted, if your kernel has been optimized for a 
particular chip (pentium, amd, pentium 4..) they you will likely have 
problems.

Your best bet is to build a new kernel that is targeted for your new 
chip, before you upgrade.  Then have your bootloader set up to boot 
multiple kernels.  You shutdown from your old processor, do your 
hardware upgrade, and reboot selecting your new kernel built for that 
processor.
