I am going to upgrade my current PC's MB and CPU. I 'm going from a via kt133 chipset (Abit kt7) to an ALI chipset (Asus a7a133) and I 'd rather not do an OS re-install if I can avoid it (everything is running so good right now). I know in theory, I should just be able to swap out the components and Windows XP will recognize the new hardware and install the drivers for the board (sometimes with help from the user). I've done this before with Win2k and Win98 and it never seemed to work as well as when I would just do a fresh install after doing the hardware upgrade. Has anyone made chipset upgrades on their XP systems and noticed any problems? Also, I was considering uninstalling all the Via specific devices in the Device Mangler before shutting down to do the upgrade. Does this sound reasonable?
Thoughts anyone?
