My grandfather has a emachine with AMD Sempron 1.8ghz. I have a dell with the same exact cpu. About 4 months ago, I bought a AMD Athlon 64x dual core 3.1ghz processor, only to realize that dell sucks, and that I could not install my new CPU into my computer. I'm going to try and convince my grand father to switch desktops with me. He'll take mine, and I'll take his, the only thing that would swap between them would be the HDD and the ram. My question is, if I were to download the necessary drivers onto his HDD, would I be able to put it on my computer without reformating? I plan on reformating my HDD once I put it into the other computer.
