Adding processors after the fact

Hello all,
When installing additional processor(s) into a Win Server 2003 w/SQL Server
2005 box after it is up and running, does the OS & SQL
Server need to be reinstalled, or will they automatically recognize the new
processor(s)?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide,
Conan KellyWindows will automatically pick up the new CPUs, and SQL Server will find
whatever the OS has.
Now licensing, that is a different issue. Nothing automatic there. You must
license the new CPUs if necessary -depending upon version.
