Hey all! I just ordered my motherboard and CPU (ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA with an E6600).
It should be here in a day or two, but now I am a little unsure as to what needs to be done to swap my old board and CPU with the new stuff.
I will be going from an M2N-E & X2 3800+ to this new set, but I am a little concerned about doing the swap and losing valuable files/information.
I am running XP Pro; all other relevant (and irrelevant) information is in my rig page (see sig).
I also saw this guide on the web and was wondering if it is sufficient. Does anyone have any further tips for a noob like me?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers,
KT
