Wow, lots of responses here. So, if I wanted to
physically take both the Nics out and use them on the new
motherboard, I should go through the steps of looping the
nics?
I physically want to just take the drives, nic cards, and
video card and move them to the new motherboard and have
it work just like it did in the other case.
Thanks for all your patience, I'm still learning.
