My machine was built by a friend:
System Specifications
Subsystem Description Specification
System OS Windows XP Home SP3
System Serial Number EVAL
Main Board Make ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Main Board Model A8N-SLI SE
Main Board Version 1.XX
Main Board BIOS Phoenix Technologies, LTD Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Nvidia - 42302e31 20060309
Processor Description AMD Athlon 64 3500
Processor Clock Speed 2200 Mhz
Graphics Description NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO
I want to upgrade to an amd athlon 64 x2 5600+
I think I understand the mechanics of this
BUT
can someone tell me, do I just swap them over and my system will just work or do I need to install some software/drivers first?
Are there any other compatability issues?
It is my first attempt at doing anything like this although I have read the idiots guide and taken the panels off to see all the bits.
