I recently upgraded my Motherboard from an MSI K7t Turbo to an MSI K7T266 Pro2 .

Can I just switch out Motherboards & ram & startup ? Or do I have to do something else beforehand ?

Current Setup :

Win2000 Pro
K7t Turbo
512mb Mushkin rev1.5 pc133
SB Live
Elsa Gladiac 32mb GTS
WD 40 gb hd

Very soon to be setup (waiting on ram)

Win2000 Pro
K7t266 Pro2
512mb High Perf. pc2100 ddr
Same videocard as above (soon to upgrade that as well)
SB Live
Same WD HD as above .

Thanks for any help

Does anyone know if I'll run into any problems if I just switch out these two boards ?

Seems like someone would know in here .

btw : I HATE DELL

Are you going to use the RAID function? I assume you're not judging by the info you posted. I'm no expert, but I don't believe you should run into any problems. Start slow though. The first time you attempt to boot, just have your vid card installed. Then power down, install new hardware, and rebbot for every other card and so forth.

I haven't done this myself, but will pass this on: I saw an article that advised to delete devices from Device Manager and then to install new board and let it find and assign devices on its own. Hope this helps.
Good Luck, Take-Out
