| Re: New Mobo+cpu Old Hdd When swapping motherboards, I would highly recommend wiping the system and doing a fresh install. This is especially true if the motherboards use different chipsets (VIA/AMD/Nvidia). Also, did you get new RAM to go with the mobo/cpu? The XP3200+ supports DDR400 (PC3200) RAM. Would be kind of a waste to use DDR266 (PC2100) RAM. Good Luck! |
