I'm installing a new MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platninum M/B. Since it is equiped with nVidia2 as is my old ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe, do I have to reformat my HD and reinstall my O/S with the new drivers? The second question is the MSI manual states to set a field of the MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) version for the O/S. The settings are [1.4], [1.1]. What do I set this to? Oh ya, I'm running Windows XP Professional w/SP2 Thank you and I do appreciate the help. This Bud's for You! Ducky
I recommend you reinstall. (Windows Users Penal Code, Section 1: "Whoever foists a new mainboard on an existing Windows installation shall be punished by not less than five nights' troubleshooting. The attempt is punishable.") Regards, Martin A
Hello Centurio, Thanks for your reply, Now that sounds like good advice. I was having sparadic lock-ups so I bought a new MSI board, my last hope to exercise the demon. So I'll do a reformat and a clean install. Oh found out what MPS setting to use, it's 1.4. Thanks again I drank your Bud, hic Ducky
I have the exact same MB -great board. The answer is No. Just uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones. leave the factory setting for MPS. It works fine for me.
