No, and in fact you don't need to format after most upgrades anymore...just do a "repair" install.  I did it a couple of weeks ago after installing a new mobo and PSU and have been running smoothly ever since.

How about from a non-HT Pentium 4 to a Hyper Threaded one? Or will the OS just recognize it? Just wondering about future upgrade paths. Thanks.
