Maybe..........if the old and new mobo uses the VIA chipset. I have =

with any other kind of other *older to newer* versiuon of chipset other =
than VIA. It might be worth a try if you're moving from an older mobo =
with something like an older NForce to a newer NForce chipset, but be =
sure to Ghost (or whatever backup you use) first, just in case. If =
you're swapping chipsets, do a clean install.

I know the answer to this question or at least I think I do, but

Is there a way to swap a motherboard with a totally different MB

from
scratch & still have a stable system?
Thanks,

Not sure how far you are into this thing, but you can do it and I have =
done it many times. Just install the new motherboard and when windows =
begins to boot it will begin installing the new hardware for your new =
motherboard. All the stuff it can't find drivers for it will put an =
exclamation point by in the device manager. Just go on the internet or =
find your disks and load the drivers for the stuff it couldn't install. =
Also, if you are using Windows XP you will have to call in and explain =
to them what your doing (it will give you the number to call). Just tell =
them you changed motherboards, read them a bunch of numbers off the =
screen, they will read you a bunch of numbers to plug in, and your off.

Erick,
That sounds easier than it seems?=20
I'll keep my note pad ready on the next reinstall.
Next time maybe I'll succeed?
Thanks for the tip,
Tom
