Or can i just take a HDD, plug it in the new mobo and continue workign like nothing happend. I had ASUS mobo, will I need same or can I use MSI or some other. Whats a good one these days. I have Athlon XP 3200+ Amadeus 08-19-2005, 05:05 PM You'll need to reinstall. The type of mobo you should get depends on three things: socket type, budget, and your plans to overclock. VashioStampede 08-19-2005, 06:27 PM No plans for overclocking. But is there any way to make this work without reinstalling?

On my home PC I typically just backup all my files and do a fresh install.
