My sister has a IBM ThinkCentre A50 8090 PC. The board of that PC has just died. The PC uses i865GV chipset. So I bought a new motherboard, an Asrock P4i65G using i865G chipset, and assembled a new PC using the living CPU, DDR-400 RAM and the harddisk. When the new PC boots, it required me to activate Windows XP. I haven't confirmed that one yet. In the worst case scenario, the activation would fail because the hardware has been changed and I would need to buy a new copy of Windows, likely a Vi$ta Home Basic. -- @~@ http://changmw.homeip.net / v \ May the Force and Farce be with you!
