Hi folks. Quick question.. I currently am running my custom built PC with an Asus m2n-sli deluxe motherboard and AthlonX2 5200. I would like to upgrade both to an EVGA 680i mobo and a Core 2 Duo E6600.. Can I simply move all my components like RAM, Video card, and will my PC boot Windows the same way as before- just faster?

Likely not but if you still have the copy of windows you installed from (or another of the exact same revision version) then you would simply have to run a repair install from the disk to realign your registry and device drivers for the new hardware. Also make sure your new mobo supports the old ram.(you probably already knew this)

bout time you learn a thing or two....
no matter how fast you make your computer, one
thing you must learn is your still running 32 bit software,,, and that will not run any faster,,
you would have noticed that windows did not start up or run any faster, than it did on the old 32 bit processor.
Now to feel the benefit of the 64 bit system your going to have to move on to the 64 bit operating system. which window xp is not. so your wasting your money...
Now lets say you go out and buy windows Vista 64 bit premium at what ever the price is... is that going to be worth the money your spending? Nope it is not worth it,,, cause there are to many bugs in it
what do you do with your computer? play games?
well even the games are still running 32 bit software, there are very few games written for the 64 bit system, let alone for the core 2 system..
Software writers will never be able to catch up with the processors. cause later his year the quad core is coming out,
Now the only operating system that is true 64 bit is linux which is free to download with all the software you will ever need also free.
I suggest you move over to Linux, you can do more with linux than you will ever be able to do with windows vista,,,
There are several versions of 64 bit Linux operating system, you could even make the system you have into a virtual machine, running Linux and Windows at the same time,
so do some research in to Linux it is the the second most powerful operating system in the world in fact Linux will be the first computer software to land on Mars you can read about that on NASA website
The point I'm getting at is why have a system that you don't even know what you can do with it

warning, be careful and dont construction up a static can charge touch the chasis of the laptop in the previous any aspects. next, the advice should not be lost because your not messing with the annoyingpersistent. Ram is straightforward, open the clips on the facets eject the previous sticks and in bypass the recent. The CPU and MoBo are somewhat trickier, and that i reccomend Google a Tech help website, and YouTube, emphasis on YouTube as you will discover the way it quite is carried out.

Basic idea is you'll have to configure your BIOS on the new mobo to match the new settings. Then when Windows starts up you might need to reconfigure some of the configuration settings.

Depends... if your Video card and Ram is the right socket type. Also, if your mobo fits in your case. Assuming that all that works you should be fine.
