Hi guys
So right now, these are my specs:
Intel D845GBV motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 at 2.53 GHz (socket 478)
512 MB of DDR266 RAM
And my parents have:
Dell 02Y832 motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 at 2.4 GHz (socket 478)
512 MB of DDR400 RAM
My idea was to switch my motherboard and memory with theirs.
My question is, if someone changes out the RAM and motherboard of a computer, do they need to reinstall the operating system (Windows XP in this case) ?
And does anyone see any problems with my plan ?
The point of it is to get a little bit more life out of my computer before having to do a real (and costly) upgrade.
