I am about to upgrade the following components of my system:
- Motherboard from Asus AV7266-E to MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum
- CPU from Athlon 1900+ to Athlon 64 3500+
- Graphics card from Geforce Ti 4600 (Gainward 750 XP) to Gigabyte NVIDIA Fanless 6800 128MB AGP
Will I need to reinstall Windows XP?
Am I likely to have problems with activation?
Would you recommend a reformat of the C: partition?
There seem to be widely differing views about whether to reformat or not, so I should very much appreciate reasons.
Thanks
