Hi,
I did a search for this, didn't find anything so I thought I would just throw it out here.
I have Win XP release candidate 2425?? or something like that..only had it a week and I absolutely love it.
My old system was:
Celery 300 oc'd to 450
Abit ZM6 board I think
2 Seagate scsi's 9 gigs each
soundblaster sound card
Plextor cd writer
196 meg ram
3com network/lan card
New system:
ECS K7S5A with AMD 1.4
new no name case
same 196 meg ram (corsair)
onboard sound card
onboard lan
using same hard drives and cd writer
I booted the new system with Win XP from old computer...booted and ran okay.
I could tell it had some issues, so I reloaded Win XP..now working great
The reason for this post is that I am not quite as computer literate as most here but I really thought I would have to reactivate Win XP after this major of a change in a system. Being that Win XP is an evaluation copy I still thought I would be calling Microsoft last night to get it running.
You are probably thinking that I had same hard drive, which is true, and that is why no reactivation....well I think same thing. But I thought WIN XP took a digital snapshot of entire system and would require reactivation if any major changes..well I thought I had a major change.
Perhaps someone here on a fact finding misson finds this post to be slightly interesting or useful
Yall take care,
Todd
