Hi,
Lots of info on the web, but it often conflicts with another....
I want to change my motherboard, chip and memory and want to know the least
painful way of teasing XP back into working...
Has anyone actually done it, and which method did you use?
Over the years, I have found it easier and more benificial to re-install
any OS after a MB change.
There can be so many driver diffs it is better (IMO) to start afresh.
Make sure you have a backup of data, if kept in 1 subdir structure pretty
easy. If on a second HD even easier.
Re-install, add the apps most commonly used and only add others if you
actually find you need them.
