You may be right, my fear may not be about what can happen, but rather fear that I might make a mess of it.
You have to admit though, that there are a lot of risks involved with this process, I have done a great deal of research on this and read some really bad stories.
I do want to upgrade to Quad Core though, which leaves with two options, either update the BIOS or buy another Motherboard that already supports Quad Core, the first will probably not lead to me re-activating Windows Vista, the second mostly likely will.
What do you think of the Q6600?
It is at the moment the cheapest and most basic Core 2 Quad, but has impressive specs, 8Mb Cache, not to mention 4 cores, with an FSB of 1066Mhz as well (which seems to be the most my Motherboard will handle without the absolute latest BIOS, I'm only prepared to update to 0608, but will go further if it proves to be "unstable").
Also, to Cas, sorry, I seem to have hijacked your topic for a little rant, it wasn't done on purpose, again I apologise.
