Talk about overkill!!! That's like saying your engine needs to be pulled
down when you change the exhaust.
If people are careful to remove old drivers as well as the device from
device manager before installing the new card, there should be no problems
at all.

So what??? There are utilities that are available specifically to remove old

if they know how to change hardware in Windows.

Reinstalling windows after a MoBo change is fair enough, but saying you
need to do it for a sound card GFX swop out is a load of bollocks.

I think we all agree that if windows gets ***ed up, a reinstall is in
