45nm technology.My version of Vista is an OEM version from Mesh wich was the
original computer.I have done a motherboard upgrade before but using the
original cpu (as above) and i had to reinstall vista which worked after
completely wiping HDDs but i don't want to have to do that again!The version
of home premium i am running is the 32bit version to SP1.Unfortunately
microsoft won't upgrade it to the 64bit version (OEM i suppose)so at the
moment i am sat here with a lot of moneys worth of gear at my feet but dare
not use it.
When did you last activate Vista? Does it have the 'wipe the slate clean' action that XP had with the shop bought OEM versions. I.e. after 6 months it seems to just activate whatever the hardware?
