Re: Swapping MB



If you wish to avoid ongoing nasty Registry errors and data corruption, do
yourself a favor. After you've installed the new motherboard REFORMAT the
harddrive and do a fresh install of the OS and software. You'll reap the
benefits over the upcoming months of not having headaches.
