Upgrading Hardware?
Guys i just ordered a CoreI7 + x58 + 12GB of Ram to replace my current my Core 2 Quad that i have currently. Is it still strongly suggested to do a wipe/reinstall when you get new hardware? I hope not. I have so much stuff installed it would take forever to put everything back on in the state it is now. Also i remember back in the XP days if you got a new motherboard you could just put in the XP cd and pretty much do a repair and when you were done everything would be up and running again. I tried this with Vista and they took a step backwards and it wouldn't work. Is windows7 better in this case? I'm sure WIndows Server 2008 R2 is the same as Windows7 because my current hardware will be going to my server in the basement which is R2. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
