so when i my new mobo in to shity old dell, what happens with the bios and stuff, im doing a new xp install so ill reformat, but what about the new bios?
 
You cannot simply move a new mobo into a dell PC, you also have to replace the case and power supply for most model's
 
oh yea, sorry i didnt fully explain, i got this dell, and im frpleacing the case, psu, mobo, and ram, so stripping it of everything dell......so what happens with the bios?
 
All of your bios settings will be gone. The new mobo has a different bios (and problably better too).

You might need a new case, I don't know if they are standard atx. You will need a new power supply though.

Just to make sure I am refering to what you are thinking... The bios is just a layer between the hardware and operating system. It allows you to change certain settings like booting off a cd or overclocking (on some).
