1 at a Time?

[Blyths]

Hi all,

When upgrading more than one thing at a time, is it best doing one at a time?

ie motherboard, then graphics card, then sound card, or is it ok all at once?

Thanks

Its easier to fault-find if ya only change one thing at a time, or 2 if you`re moving to a new mobo and CPU.

Upgrading everything at once can be a hassle unless its all guaranteed working, but its also harder to see where the performance boosts are coing from

Sorry about that,

What I mean is I have the parts already and was a bit worried about how the drivers would re-act to a new board, Graphics cards installed at the same time?

you`ll have to reinstall windows anyway for a new mobo, so the drivers will need replaced anyway.

I'd have said everything together is your best bet as it sounds like your pretty much replacing everything so it'd save time when just doing a fresh install

OK Thanks Guys

Gotta be worth doing it all at once, because you're moving from Intel to AMD, I think - plus you'll need to install the S-ATA drivers on the fresh install or XP won't BOOT.
