My brother in law just upgraded to an AMD XP2500+ Barton new MoBo etc...

Had to reinstall XP completely, repair wouldn't work... Used barts PE to
rescue his data...

Processor - unlikely to be a problem

RAM - likely to be a "BIOS burps first time you reboot, and you have
to
accept new settings, after which you're OK"

Motherboard - may be a problem. A lot of the messy bits of Windows are
device drivers, and things like HDD controllers, PCI bridges and the like
may all need changing. Depends on how similar your motherboards are...

Personally, I would bite the bullet and install the OS from new. It is
likely to result in a cleaner, more stable system :-(

It has exchange 2003/win2k Server. I currently have a PIII800 and want to
upgade to AMD but I do not want to really have to reinstall everything. Is
this possible ? I want to just upgrade and switch on and hope that win2k
loads loads and installs the drivers to the new chipsets/CPU etc
