Hi
I am in the process of upgrading my pc from the current Asus A8V motherboard & AGP gfx (9800 Pro) to a new Asus A8N32-sli motherboard & XFX GeForce 7800 GTX PCI-E card.
I would appreciate some advice on the build process for this swap.
I have upgraded gfx cards before but they have always been on the same mobo so it was just a question of deleting old card drivers, turning the machine off and doing the card swap. If I am swapping out the mobo at the same time as switching cards and putting in new RAM is the process any different? I will be retaining all the other bits & pieces, especially the HDDs so the OS (Windows XP Home) will already be in place based on the current set-up.
Cheers
