Most of the time you still end up with a broken install. If you are concerned about stability at all you should reinstall the OS. It only takes a few hours. Regardless how much the OS would like to recover it still always ends up getting broken. When I used to spend a lot of time overclocking machines, I was constantly modifying the CPU speed and BUS speed after a certain number of reboots I began to notice system instability to the point that reinstallation was necessary. Installing a fresh copy anytime you change even the processor is always crucial to system stability. I bet Katinka spent twice the amount of time needed for a reinstall in just trying to troubleshoot the Protel problems.

I've done that before. The mb resources change, but it autodetects that and installs the proper drivers. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
