To utilize both the cores on this proc, do i have to use XP-64??? Or will regular XP-Pro work fine???
 
what happens if you switch processors? Say from a 560 prescott to a 820 dual core. I have already installed XP and the such, need to do anything else for that?

Your 560 had HT. Win should have automatically installed the multi processor version of the HAL. So switching to a dual core shouldn't matter. It will use the same multi processor HAL.
