Took the plunge

Jeeze lol. IF I wanted a good joke.. I would have looked one up. :p

What happens is.. Vista actually loads. No blue screen. No crashes. It spends 5 minutes installing all the new drivers for the different chipset. and then its done. and you are set.

Windows Xp 99% of the time will crash horribly forcing a full reinstall. or repair install.
Vista doesn't have that issue. thats friggin awesome in my book.
 
XP doesn't crash horribly unless you're moving from Via to something else (Nvidia from my experience).
 
the only time Xp didn't burn for me.. was when I switched between 2 motherboards that both had the same nforce chipset. Every other case of switching between varied chipsets I have seen xp crash and burn.
 
I've had better luck recently as long as I uninstall the chipset drivers prior to swapping out the board.
