Last swap i did before I shut down I reinstaller any drivers that were not going to be the same on the other board like HD drivers, sound, nic, and the such and it went off very good all I had to do was set the boot sequence correctly in the bios. I would also try a repair install also but a clean install is probably the best way to go just change the board and cpu of coarse back up all info from c drive boot with the least amount of hardware 1 drive 1 stick of ram and 1 dvd rom and go from there with a clean install i also will be doing the installs of software this way install a program and then defrag then do another and defrag and on and on some of said this works better for getting the drive set up for faster seek times. I can't wait to get the E8400 and the new board never liked AMD which is alright but just not as crisp or quick as my E6750.
