I am Runner XP prof on an Intel P4. I am upgrading to an AMD 64 (new Mother
borad also) Will I need to preform any special steps for the OS to handle
the transition? I am hoping I will not have to reinstall everything.
 
Hi

You'll have to perform a 'Repair' install with a new mobo. Are you going to
install the 64-bit version of XP?

Ok, so I change the hardware, boot the PC to the CD preform a recovery, and
Tada it should boot. I should install the 64 bit version if I am going to
take advantage of the amd 64.. SO can I then just upgrade the current OS?
 
Hi

If you do install the 64-bit version, you may have to do a lot of searching
for the appropriate hardware drivers. There's still not a lot of them
about.
