Whatever the outcome is? Just make sure you backup your data first............ 

I did this one time with a PII 233 and swapped it over on a PIII 700. It went 
smooth up until the hard drive card (on board) gave my hard drives hell. I 
just had to do a bit of tweaking. It worked.

I've also had dead nightmares on other systems. :(
