Do I have reinstall my OS and all the apps if I want to upgrade from my P3 to P4 mach

Hi folks,

I have two old Pentium III PC with the followings:

(1) ASUS CUV4X Motherboard (Based on VIA 694X/694Z chipset) with a Maxtor 40GB Hard Drive.

(2) ASUS P3B-F Motherboard (Based on the Intel 440BX AGPset chipset) with a Maxtor 20GB Hard Drive.

Both Pcs are running Chinese Windows 2000 on it.

I would like to know if I just want to upgrade the CPU and the Motherboard for both PCs (from P3 to P4 Processor), do I have reinstall my Win2k OS along with all my exxisting apps since the chipsets of both PCs are not the same as Intel 845E ??

Please kindly advise ASAP.

Have a good day, mate !

 

No need to reinstall O/S and Apps

Windows will re-detect all new hardware and ask for drivers as it goes along
