No, it won't people keep telling me it will but a PREVIOUSLY USED CoAYeah I've never tried it with a pre-built oem key on a new motherboard. Too bad i chucked an old Athlon I had, I'd of sent it to ya, all I got left is an 850 duron
This is where I'm confused, the COA for this "new" motherboard. Is this board an OEM (from a dell, HP, ect)? If not the COA will work on any machine. Sorry I just can't keep track of what's what here lol.
Yeah, it's a socket A and a friend loaned me a slower one that won't work with the board for some reason.what socket is your motherboard???? i have several Socket A chips i could send you..... they just need a good home
Yeah I wasn't positive on wheather an HP, DELL ect COA would work, I didn't think it would, but an OEM COA that you purchase separately will as I've had both my XP and Vista in multiple machines. The only down side is you have to call Microsoft every time you need to activate on new hardware.No, it won't people keep telling me it will but a PREVIOUSLY USED CoA
will ONLY work without issues on the MoBo (identified by serial number)
that it was originally used on.
