Hey all :)
So i am about to upgrade to an Athlon XP 2400+ T-Bred (266) on my Epox 8KHA+. My current winXP install is 4 days old and it would not be inconvinient to install it again, anyways, What should I do in preparation for the new processor, should I uninstall anything? When I get it in should I re-install my 4-in-1's, or DirectX, or maybe my detonators?
I am not willing to sacrifice ANY stability or performance on the method that I choose, so as I said before, I am very willing to simply re-install XP, I only have about 8 hours or so invested into configuration / program installation, so in the long run, its no big deal. And Yes, I am about to update my BIOS again, momentarily.
So basically, what I am asking is there anything at all to gain by re-installing XP right away, and if not, is there anything I should consider doing in preparation? (Load optimized defaults ya-ya got that)
Core Specs:
Epox 8KHA+
Elsa Gladiac GF2 GTS 32mb
WD2000JB
1024 PC2100 (512 Crucial, 512 PNY)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Netgear FA310TX
OCZ Gladiator (.57 C/W rating @ Dansdata)
Thoughts, Comments, etc.? Thanks in Advance...
-ps. I've been gone for a while, but I'm back, I have stopped in and read up on current info a few times, but just didn't have time to post. That should be changing soon. Btw, thanks for obscuring the post count. :thumb:
