If it does and I know you got win seven it will find and install the new drivers. If you get any conflicts you can go into the control panel/ device manager and delete any thing that's giving you problems. I actually do what KaptCrunch says and keep 2 HD at a time I like it lots.

If you go from AMD to Intel, yes. If you go from Intel to the i7 mobo, you might be lucky and have to re activate/ buy a new key of that OS. I went from a s775 mother board to an other s775 motherboard. A newer Intel INF was on the motherboard(chip) and it pickup up. I recommend to make a backup of you registry where your cd-keys are located in. How: Start -> Type in : regedit (enter) -> right click 'Computer' and click on "Export" and make a name like a DATE and save it to somewhere else (other disk) it can be over 500Gb. I recovered so many games after some losses. Awards
