Installing a new motherboard...

[Lest]

I'm getting a new motherboard for my system...which is an entirely different chipset and manufacter and BIOS than my old one. What should I do to ensure operation on my comp?

You mean like software wise? You need to install windows and all your programs again if you want a stable computer.

I have to reinstall everything?

Nuts. Oh well , it's not that bad. Thanks for the reply.

A reinstall is the easiest way to do it.

Just do a Windows repair. That usually works fine. That way you don't have to reinstall all your programs.

you're crazy if you don't do a full reinstall - you owe it to your new parts. g/l

It's not worth the hassle, do a full fresh install.

Even if a repair would work fine (not that I'd know), you're probably due for a reformat anyway. Good incentive to clean things up a bit and back up your data.
