I am tired of the clicks and pops from my older and slower
CPU.
I'd love to upgrade, but do not want to go through re-
authorization of Paris and all my other plugs and software.
Can I just buy a new MOBO and CPU, and put it in my existing
tower, keeping my current hard drives? Would it be easier to
get them in a new tower, and move all of the drives to the new
tower?
And what would you recommend for a MOBO/ CPU combo for Paris?
Am I missing anything? I assume that this is all I will need
to upgrade, and I could certainly be wrong.
Thanks so much!
Chris Lang

Chris,
If the mobo uses the same chipset, you can sometimes pull this off. I
successfully migrated my system drive from a PC using a VIA KT700 to a VIA
KT800 chipset with nothing more than a driver update. If you're switching to
a mobo with a different chipset, this may not be possible, but you can try
it. Just Ghost your system drive before you start fooling around with
uninstalling the current chipset drivers from your system drive, just in
case you need to do back to your original PC and DAW configuration. Just an
FYI, I have never haed a successful migration from a mobo with a VIA chipset
to a mobo with an NForce chipset. I had to do a clean install for this to
work.

Thanks, DJ- I have that exact chipset- the KT700. I will e-mail
you separately for any tips specific to this transition.
I think I owe you some free sax or harmonica work by now...
