534282 2007-03-19 04:46:00 I just got my graphics card today to semi finish the computer i have been building for the last month or two:
Asus M2N Sli Deluxe
AMD 3800+ dual core 64 (>_> i wish i could afford intel)
2x 512mb Ram DDR2 @ 800mhz
XFX Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb

at the moment no disc drive which wasnt an issue till i tryd to simply swap my hard drive over from this computer to the new one, hoping it would just install the new drivers(im going to buy a new hard drive asap so no point reinstalling windows on this drive because the setup at the moment i NEED everything as it is except for drivers obviously)

my current install is on a p3 598mhz

i dont know if it is possible to convert this install over to an amd install is it?

anyone give some assistance please? any help is much appreciated =D

You will have to keep using the PIII until you get your new drive.

Incidently, the CPU type isn't the problem with swapping drives over it's the OS that is being used.

Yes. Great isn't it. Hope your case has a nice clear window so you can show off to visitors.
Customers here picking up their little HP things :p normally want to know what that thing is by my monitor and express awe when its explained.

Like I told husband, if I want to sell things I need to have them on display. Pity that argument doesn't work on him anymore.........:D

534288 2007-03-19 08:07:00 Hey man you don't need that 4600 stick the FSb to 250 and you might be surprised. The 3800 is an excellent overclocker, should be fine stock at 2600mhz apsattv (7406)
