alot of the older dell monitors were Sony's. I don't know about the new ones, maybe NEC/Mitsu? The board is another question. If you are running 2000/XP you could download Sandra (www.sisoftware.com) and that will read all of the hardware codes on the board and cards you have. I've always...
also note, it has some kind of hardware codes in the BIOS or something, because if you add a non-HP cd/dvd drive to the mix, it usually won't boot, or if you get past that point, won't restore to factory partition.
good points by v00d00. being clocked down and having more RAM is not necessarily a good thing. If you are doing video editing, or animation it is, but its not for gaming or everyday use. stick to the 512 I think, i'm running 512 on an Athlon 64 and its served me well.
3d animation? and modeling? You need a bit more than that... Try a 200Gb HDD, AMD 4000, 2+GB of RAM, and a real graphics card, like something from Matrox.
You swap those two. You will probably need to reactivate windows. All you need to do it put it back in the AMD system and boot into windows and change your IDE controller to "standard IDE controller." Then shut down, swap drive into new system and it should start reloading all the new...
Well you could use the ram, but I don't understand the question about a chipset running both a barton and an A64. A barton is a 462 pin socket, and the A64's are either 754 pins or 939. So no you couldn't get a board that did both, I guess, if I read it correctly anyways.
Did anything change in the BIOS? If you upgraded the firmware it may have changed some settings in the BIOS, like restart on PCI activity, or WOL. If its a clean install (meaning you haven't been on the internet) then it shouldn't be spyware, but you might wanna check that too.
