Hey,
I've got a Chaintech 7VJL Apogee with a KT333 chipset that won't properly
read my new Athlon XP 2700+ (replaced a Palomino 2000+). Only shows up as a
2100+ (133 FSB vs. 166 FSB). Chaintech says they'll fix the mobo, and I
said forget it, I'll buy a new mobo, which is what I did.
So, I've got this MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR sitting here (nForce2 Ultra 400
chipset), and I'm looking for the easiest way to install/set it up. My
thinking is that I'll install the mobo, and all the peripherals, and then
boot to the Windows XP CD, and start an upgrade install. This should find
all the new components on the system board, but still keep my applications
installed. Whaddya think?
Anyone have any experiences doing this type of mobo replacement? I'd rather
not have to do a completely fresh install of XP if I can help it.
This is a quick speed boost until I can upgrade to an Athlon64 setup some
time later this year.
Thanks for any info you have,
Bill G
