    I have a store bought computer, it's an intel chip. I want to buy an Asus A8V. Will this work? I have heard that you can't switch around mobos like that and there is a chance of it not working. And will it be OK to switch from Intel and AMD?

    Ok thanks. I read this thing and it said something about it not working, I'm not very tech savvy so could you translate this thing for me?

    It says something about not swithcing boards and things not working. Just the first few paragraphs.

    that has to do with xp installed on your hd when switching the boards around but there are ways usually around that problem.
