| 114486 | 2003-01-16 09:05:00 | Just wondering if it were possible to replace HP motherboards to 3rd party Equipment. I hear there are many problems surounding swapping them including a "tattoo" in the bios, leeme know if you've done it before and link me to relevant information. Cheers William |

| 114487 | 2003-01-16 09:09:00 | Probably OK if you dont intend to use the "recovery disk" OS that came with the original one? I believe its "licenced" (and locked) to the motherboard? | godfather (25) | ||
| 114488 | 2003-01-16 10:21:00 | Thanks, I will continue to ask around. | fiveonefive (1019) | ||
| 114489 | 2003-01-16 19:31:00 | Physically it would depend on what model of HP PC you have, some of them have non-standard size or fittings. If so you would just need to buy a new case to house the new motherboard and transfer your drives and cards. | crozier (2004) | ||
| 114490 | 2003-01-17 08:29:00 | You might have to replace the case anyway because the power supply probably won't be powerful enough to run whatever your upgrading to, and HP use non-standard ones so you can't replace them easily. | bmason (508) | ||
