Going from a ASUS A8N SLI DELUXE to a PREMIUM= REINSTALL? ( NEED QUICK REPLY)

[Noni]

Will I need to re-install drivers or reformat my computer if I do this?

Dont ask why, but my Deluxe went poof and its cheaper to get a PREMIUM than a DELUXE+ zalman cooler.

I need a quick reply.

same chipset right?, if so, then you probably just need to run a windows repair.

Sorry whats a windows repair?

Thank you.

chances are the only thing you might need to do is bring it up, and reload the Nvidia Nforce driver set. You don't have to do a repair of Windows. Be smart and backup anything important before doing anything though. I took a harddrive that last ran on an Nforce3 AGP board, and ran it on an Nforce4 board. All I did was reload the Nvidia Driverset and it ran perfect.

Seconded - you should be able to re-boot the thing successfully without a repair or a reinstall. Just make sure you back up everything important first.
