I am planning on giving my PC an overhaul this weekend, just wanted to see if replacing these parts would require me to do anything special besides a safety-net backup beforehand: 1. replace MSI K8N Neo4 mobo with a MSI P6N Platinum mobo 2. replace 2GB Kingston PC3200 DDR 400 RAM with 2GB Corsair PC6400 DDR800 RAM 3. replace AMD 3500 cpu with an Intel E6400 cpu 4. Coolermaster 450watt powersupply with a OCZ Extreme 700 Watt power supply Should I plan on reformatting and re-installing the OS? Or at worse case will I be able to do the Windows repair? Just trying to get a jump on anything I might run into. RickB
