New System, Old Drive

[memoryinmotion]

Is there any way to "slipstream" new chipset drivers on to an old drive?

New system:

MSI K9A2 Neo with an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+

Old system:

Asus A7V400 - MX with an AMD Sempron Single core (No exact specs yet.)

This would be a great timesaver if possible.

It's possible, but not really recommended. Chances are that it won't save you much time in the end, since you'll likely run into more troubleshooting by trying to transfer the drive from one system to another - as opposed to just starting fresh and formatting the system.

The only time that swapping a system from one motherboard to another is viable is when the chipsets are of the same family (Intel ICHx/ICHxR for example). Even then, you might run into snags that just end up causing you grief.
