    • Hey, I just need to know, is it possible to upgrade a x64 CPU and change to dual core CPU  with motherboard and video card, while keeping my Windows partition intact?

    • If you mean just reconnect the components, I know but the last three upgrades, Windows refuses the boot all the way through and normally gives me either a blue screen, or just doesn't respond.

    Also, all my componenets come in anti-static bags, so I should be fine about the ESD thing.

    • If you're going to be changing motherboard and cpu. it'd be best to just backup your stuff and format, really.

    t least, that's what I've always done to avoid trouble.

    That is a good idea, but I was just trying to see if there is a "lazy guy" way.

    • Would backing up my "SOFTWARE" Registry file work when re-installing Windows? As in keeping all my software and game registry intact?
