I LOVE Vista
Hiya guys,
i thought i would post this as i didn't know what would happen when i swapped the CPUs in rig:1. So i took out the qx6700 and installed a q9550, i was expecting to have to activate like in XP. But no Vista didn't even flintch. Fantastic, well done MS
Regards
Lloyd

That is good!!
Asus P8Z68 Deluxe ~ Intel i7 2600K 3.4ghz ~ Corsair A70 ~ 8GB Corsair Vengance (Blue) ~ Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II ~

Another point to add is that Richard swapped his nVidia 680i mobo for a 780 mobo and he did not need to re-activate vista either.
As i said - well done MS

I swapped from a 680i board to iX38 board and never had to recactivate or re-install (I was very happy to say the least)

That's even better - two completely different makes of chipsets, fantastic!Originally Posted by Jura55ic
You're telling me you didnt format and reinstall when changing a motherboard? Or you did but you didnt need to activate?
If it's the former then...
Both! I didnt need to format and reinstall or activate
