Am running a Msi P67A - gd 65 board with 8gb ram (4 x 2bg)+i2700k + 120gb (ocz vertex 3) ssd/windows drive and a 256gb plextor data drive.

Windows 7 64bit oem .

Sons comp. is a s939 dual core + 1gb ram etc - xp

-------------------
Bought windows 7 ultimate retail (64 & 32 bit) and decided to 'upgrade' both sons and my own.
--------------------
Mine - use the cpu + the ssds's . Have bought an Asus P8Z68V - gen 3 board + 8gb ram (2 x 4gb 1866 tracer).

Sons - he will get my existing board + my 4 x 2gb 1600 ram + a spare 750gb 'black' hd I have to hand. + a new celeron G540.

To save/re-use my existing windows 7 have decided that , probably, best approach is :-
1. Swap new cpu for existing 2700 in my board.- re-boot and settle(any problems)
2. Clone the windows drive (ocz ssd) to the wd black - take out the ocz drive , re-boot and settle
3. Install my 'old' board ,with new bits, in his case
Hopefully his 'new' computer will now be running windows 7 -64bit oem

4. Put new board etc in my case - install windows ultimate 64 bit on the ocz windows drive - install data ssd.
Hopefully my 'new' computer will be running windows ultimate 64 bit.

Any 'flaws' in my thinking? :(

Views much appreciated :)

n.b. Just to add i'm running 7950 gpu and son is running 5770 gpu - both of which will be re-used
