Right - got the graphics adapter yesterday so will be pulling the PC apart at the weekend!

If I just install the new hardware, do you think I'll be able to preserve my current install, or will Vista get the hump with the new chipset and throw fit?

I aslo think it's going to say 'eh up! Hardware changes! I'm going to need a re-activation!

I suspect it'll be the latter so I'll probably end up trashing the OS partition and doing a clean install.
