Issac:


You shouldn't have to re-install windows. Before you remove the processer, you probably should change the processor type in the Device Manager so that Windows thinks it is running on only 1 processor. When you bring it back up, it would only have 1 proc so everything should be a-ok.

I am not an itanium expert so I can't say for sure. Never even worked with an Itanium box before. I speak by experience of Intel 32bit CPU's only. Windows may handle that a bit differently.
