Hello

I installed my Opensuse 10.2 on an Athlon XP 2100 (32bit), on an ASUS A7V8X motherboard (Via KT400). I've since ordered an MSI K8T Neo2 V2.0 (Via K8T800) and Athlon XP 3700 (64bit). Will I be able to boot into my existing install (i.e from my existing disk) or will everything fall over?

Also, I use a ATI 9800 Pro graphics card, and read something somewhere about a compatibility issue with the AMD 64. Is this true?

Thanks in advance

Do a clean install. If you have /home on it's own partition. it will be no problem.
