I am not a hardware person. I have an old AMD Athlon XP chip 2700 that

If I replace with any socket A Athlon, say, a 2600, instead, same FSB
and such, will I have to reinstall Debian, or will the same Kernel and
install work okay with my current installation?

No. Windows may do such shenanigans, but Linux doesn't.

I'm running Etch with the latest Etch and with whatever k7 kernels it
gives me during normal updates.

Thank you for any help.
