I think you'll probably have to re-install your OS when you change motherboards. And I don't think you can use the Dell CD again because it can only be installed on a Dell machine. I could be all wrong, though.

There is a computer show coming up this Sunday at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley. You should check it out.

actually, it's been documented that you can buy an athlon xp 2500+ barton, pc3200 ram and a motherboard that supports 400mhz fsb and you can o/c the 2500 to 3200 specs. something about athlon using the same core to save production costs. i've read about it on offtopic and it seems several members and hundreds more online and reported perfect results w/ factory cooling.

the OS reinstallation is not necessarily true. try it first without doing so, every time i switch motherboards, all i have to do is install the drivers for the new board.

good luck with it and let me know if you have any questions.

Everytime I've tried to change motherboard with either Win2K or WinXP, a reinstall has been necessary.

Maybe Dom'll get lucky, though.
