Has anyone ever upgraded the processors in their SQL Servers? Like shut it down, swaped out the processors with new ones, and turned it back on. Assuming the OS boots fine, is there any issues with SQL Server now its suddenly running on new hardware?

I have to assume that this is not that uncommon of an activity, and the OS and SQL Server should be fine.

Basically we are contemplating upgrading our quad processor (Xeon Cranford's) with four dual cores.
