PIII to PIV upgrade

[John Seth]

I haven't had any problems on a PIV with RH, although I've experience
numerous problems with almost any distro I've used if I swapped
Motherboards and CPU's, but kept the same hard drives and hardware...
Could be just me though...

If you're switching, but also doing an OS upgrade, it shouldn't be a
problem.
