[dba-Tech] System Upgrade

Hi all
 
I've got a new motherboard, memory and processor to put in my pc (I say new,
it's new to me, it's a year old that I got from a friend as payment for
building his new pc).
 
At the moment, I've got a 5 year old motherboard ram and chip combo that is
in deperate need of disposal. Normally I'd just rip it all out and shove the
new bits in, but last time I did that, I rather killed the os, and ended up
formatting the hard drive, which later died and had to be replaced... I
remember someone mentioning Sysprep, but having looked it up I can't find
any reference to it other than for making images of pc's for instant
installs on network workstations. Is Sysprep the right tool for me? How do I
use it?
 
I want a faster system, but not at the expense of losing all my files...
 
 
Jon
