An upgrade story with a happy ending
« on: June 29, 2007, 06:00:04 AM »
I recently upgraded my AMD Athlon XP 2800 on an Asus A7V8X-X with a BFG Nvidia FX5700 Ultra to an AMD 64 3400+ 939 on an Asus A8V-XE with an EVGA Nvidia 6600GT.  I know it's not a big upgrade but I'm cheap OK!

Normally I would assume I would need to reinstall Windows. I was surprised that I was able to boot up even after installing all the new hardware. I did get a bunch of pop ups notifying me of a new this and that but I closed those out and uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new drivers. I also had to re activate Windows as I would expect.

Talk about a big surprise and it saved me tons of time. System is stable and running great!   Doom 3 on high quality looks great! :bananaw00t:

I don't worship the devil. Jesus is Lord, friend. He died for your sins. He will forgive you if you just ask.
