Finally I am leaving my oldie but goldie K6-2 450 and going to a fantastic ultra strong titanic powerfull Duron 800 (ohhhh!!!!)

I want to know if I need to reinstall alllllllll my OSs (Win2k, W98, WMe, Linux and Beos ), with allllll my stuff.
Never tried it before and I am a little bit completely afraid.

Who has any experience to share with me about it?
 
Yes you need to. With such a drastic chipset change and all the OSes you want you def. need to to a completely full/clean install.
 
Agreed, with such a significant change of mobo chipset a format and reinstall is definitely recommended for both Win98 and Linux. Beos I'm not sure. Win2000 you could get along without reinstalling probably but to be safe it would be preferable to reinstall.
