My old pent4 motherboard is fried. I have all the new hardware in place. Is their a fix so not to reinstall windows xp? I can get it to boot from a disk and get the the desk top. It runs, which for me is good.
I am assuming, I have to reinstall because of the 64bit stuff?
This is my first system, so take it easy on me guys.
I wasn't able to back up any files before the crash.
Was hoping to not have to reinstall OS. I am not looking forward to loading all the software and games again.
Antec 430 watt truepowerII and case.
AMD 3200+ 2ghz Venice
2 gb dual channel pc3200 corsair memory.
Abit UL8 motherboard, very easy to install.
ati 256mb agp card (existing)
I was saving up for dual core but wasn't there as of yet so went this route. I will buy another motherbaord with pci-express ati crossfire, add dual core processor and 20 in widescreen LCD down the road. Still checking on the crossfire technology. Not sure having two video cards is worth it with the current games I play. (mostly BF2)
thanks for the help
I have windows xp home
Should I go pro?
Vista coming out soon, but I want to wait and see what happens with it.
If I go pro, upgrade from xp home will that cause me to lose all info on harddrive anyway? Will it resolve the hardware issues? HAL and applications?
