| Upgrading and XP What you think about my prospects with changing motherboard and processor and trying to avoid installing everything inc. o.s. from the scratch? My schelude is bit tight and installing everything would take some 3-4 days, I guess. Sure a clean install is the better way to go but I could do that later -if needeed- as my combination of programs and plugins is just optimal for the projects ahead right now  Regards Matti |

  | I did that with my last computer. I had an Intel Pentium 4 and changed over to AMD 64 bit 3 gigHz. it worked without a problem but, I had the wrong PCIbridge.. blahblah.. installed and my computer was slowed down due to that problem. btw.. some plugins generate their activationkey with the number of your CPU (internal checknr.) so this might be a problem. yeah.. just give it a try. cheers

| I dont reccomend it. While it sucks to have to re-install from scratch, it is the best way to avoid nightmares in the future.

| Thanks! The reason for the upgrade is going for better track counts with a double core processor. I just might be sporty and try the "easy" way first and if that gives problems it takes only 5 minutes to format that hd. Matti |

| Well, I did that and with a success but I feel my Nuendo is not seeing the other processor unlike some other programs I have... Any hints? Matti |
