Hi guys,
I'm thinking about "upgrading" my current Intel Classic mobo to an Asus P5Q. I would prefer to just switch the two and boot since I'd like to keep all my old files and settings. I am a bit leery this would corrupt my Vista Ultimate installation, however. What are your experiences? Was the boot successful?
I'll share one of mine: Back when Athlon XPs were popular, I did a switch from an ECS mobo to an Abit mobo and proceeded to boot. This basically corrupted my boot partition and I lost all my files. Now I don't know if this is just due to Abit, because as it turned out Abit made some HORRIBLE mobos at the time (another story).
