Finally I'm going for it.
I have a PIII 700@933 on an Abit BE6II for a couple of years and I'm very happy with it.
The only thing that kept me from upgrading is the fact that I would have to replace the MB and this means trouble for the setup on my HD.
Now I decided to go for an Asus P4B533-E a P4 2.4 CPU, 512MB DDR and a new geforce 4 Ti4200.
I'm using WinXP Pro with SP1 installed on NTFS and it never once crashed on me.
Now the question:
Is there any way to keep my hard drive exactly the way it is when I replace those components?
If not, I know I would have to reinstall all my software and for this, where can I find a list of files that keep my outlook addresses, birthday list in calendar, favorites, all email folders and email in those folders etc. etc.
I do have backups, even iso image from my HD, but as I understand it, it won't make a difference when installing a new MB :>(
Ohhh, what a pain it would be.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
