I recently went from an ECS K7VZA to a DFI AD70-SC and for the hell of it, I didn't reinstall XP and I just restarted the machine. To my amazement, Windows XP started just fine. It redetected all my hardware and is working fine.
My question is, would it make a difference in terms of performance if I were to reinstall Windows or is there no need?
Both motherboards have VIA chipsets, the ECS had the KT-133 the DFI has the KT-266A.
