No choice in the matter. Unfortunately that was the cheapest place to buy that board in town. Other places wanted up to $200 for it. System had to be running by this weekend so I had no choice. Also the only Socket 754 board I could find in town for whatever reason.

And personally, I've never had a winXP install work on drastically different hardware, but maybe thats just me. last time i needed a full reformat.

That is exactly my point. It is completely ****ed up that this happens. This is the year 2005. We can put a ****ing robot on Mars and control it from Earth(!), we can have satellites billions of miles away and update it's software flawlessly from Earth (!), but we can't change a mobo and have Winblows XP still work on our own PC in our house? That is ****ing pathetic!
Yes, this is stuff we have to deal with. What I am getting at is we shouldn't HAVE to. Up until XP I had no problems like this. I had 10 different mobo's on ONE install of WinMe and that system still runs flawless. XP is supposed to be newer and better in all areas and they claim PnP is supposed to be superior. Hardly the case. Only reason I bought XP is a piece of software I have requires it. Otherwise I would still be using Win9X.
