Aftenoon :) The time has come. I am finally in a position (technically) to upgrade this computer (Mandrake 10 on a P2-300mhz PC (384mb ram, 25gb Hdd, CRRW) to the chassis of an AMD1300 (384mb ram, the rest transfers over). Just need a bit of guidance and advise before I continue... Please :)
Part 1. Now. I heavily use Kontact, Konqueror, Kopete, and occasionally Mozilla. I'm working at backing up and moving as much as possible into a storage area (hard drive or CD) while I do the change. What else have I missed? All personal files will be moved over to storage anyway that I can. But I don't want to lose any email. Obviously the filters will change anyway, and I'll have to setup spamassassin again! Part 2. Spec. The following spec is the new machine. Can anyone see any problems that may present itself ahead of time. It's about a year old, but all should be recognisable hardware by now (Please!) The information was stripped from Belarc Advisor. The host hardware is currently looking after a soon to demise XP installation.

The onboard video is not being used, the other onboard things are what are worrying me because it's all on the motherboard :( Cheers, Elwyn
