Intresting enought I upgraded my computer which was a 500 Mhz PIII. I got a 1 GZH PIII (new motherboard, added memory). Since neither system was mine (side project) and I had all my stuff on the HD, I pulled my HD and swapped it for the HD on the new machine.
The HD has a dual boot of Win 98se and RH 6.2 (I have since added a third OS RH 8.0). First the Win 98se story... It crapped its drawers with all the changes it saw... memory added, different motherboard, it was a totally frustrating experience ending in a wipe and reload of Win 98se... It literally could not handle the upgrade. I had triple entries in the registry, nothing worked, it barely ran... RH 6.2 was a totally different story, it recognized the new stuff, forgot about the old stuff and booted normally (even recognized the change in video cards!). I was absolutely amazed (especially after the Win 98 experience....). I know this is like preaching to the choir, but I really was expecting a bit more than just rebooting to upgrade just about everything....:) >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Edward Dekkers >Sent: 24. mars 2003 02:11 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Installing a new motherboard - anything special to do? > > >> I would like to get a new motherboard with faster CPU.
