Upgrading to SMP
This is a discussion about Upgrading to SMP in the Windows Hardware category; Good morning everybody! I am planning to move my main box from an ASUS CUV4X to an ABIT VP6. My question is : will it be possible to change kernel from mono to bi-processor through the system properties - changing driver -? I did this in the past without any prob with BP6 boards.
Good morning everybody!
I am planning to move my main box from an ASUS CUV4X to an ABIT VP6.
My question is : will it be possible to change kernel from mono to bi-processor through the system properties - changing driver -?
I did this in the past without any prob with BP6 boards.
I do not know whether it would work with a VP6. By the way, the CUV4X and VP6 are both Via-based, so most components are the same.
As my current setup is very stable and I have alot of apps installed I would not like at all to have to reinstall the whole mess!

Put your new board in and let all the drivers install then after everthing is done and you have rebooted then change the MUlti support. SHould Work Then

Thanks!
I thought it would work.
I feel better

Whenever I switch motherboards, I prefer to do a clean install. I'd tried switching out mobo's in Win2k and got the lovely blue screen of death.
Mmmmm...VP6. Good choice. I got mine a few weeks ago, nice board.
If your really intrested in getting superior help, go to 2cpu.com.

I'll try first without reinstalling... I feel a little bit lazy at the moment.
On the other hand full reinstall would be a good opportunity to get rid of some old stuff and rearrange all the partitions.
I may follow your advice
2cpu.com is a good site as bp6.com used to be.

If you want to try the non-reinstall, I'd suggest removing all your motherboard drivers before taking out the old board. That's usually why you get the BSOD, b/c it can't initialize the IDE driver correctly.

Yes, makes sense to remove all drivers before swapping boards.
At least you need not track all these hidden device drivers that stay around.
