I have a friend that needs a working computer...
I have some old parts laying around and put them together...
The MB, and GF7050VT-M (V1.0) I ran in my dad's computer for 5 years, 24/7, and it worked flawlessly with the E2200. I have a new and different MB [DDR3 vs. DDR2], and was thinking I should switch out the MB before sending this rig to my friend. I would like to avoid any unnecessary problems in the next 2-5 years with this computer if I can help it.
Two questions:
If I change my motherboard, must I reinstall Windows Vista Business?
What is the normal life of a MB?
Thanks,
Soar
