My current specs:
Athlon XP 2700
1Gig RAM (PC3200)
2 x 40gig HDD
I want to upgrade to an Athlon 64 CPU (single core 939). Is it possible to just buy a new mobo and processor and keep everything else the same or will i have to re-install everything(ie software)?
At a later date was hoping to eventually go for the dual core CPU.
 
i think since you're getting a new mobo you'll have to do a fresh install of windows
 
I was thinking of changing my mobo. I can't use the reformatting software that came with my computer originally? My comp is from sony.
 
Thanks alot guys, I'll backup all my stuff and get started. Was hoping not to but I know its the best option.
 
Make sure to get a Venice core! Also what motherboard are you getting? I reccomend the MSI K8N Neo4-F.
