If i upgraded to a new mobo but kept the same hard drive would i be required to reinstall my optical drives and things like that? or would it just be aqs simple as installing it?
the only thing i am worried about is the fact that when i first got the computer it was just an HP system so i have no manuals for all the components or drivers, or anything like that so what all would i have to do to really get things running like usual after installing the new board.
If i want to put an athlon 64 motherboard into it with an athlon 64 3400+ into my computer would i run into a bunch of problems or i mean how difficult would that be? please help me as i really would like to uprgrade my system soon.
so even if i switch from my current setup to an athlon xp and athlon board then it would be just the same as switching for a new pentium board? and it will just pretty much recognize the new board and processor and i thats about it?
