    Thanks! But I don't expect that kind of problems since the "only"
    differencies are sound and CPU. Sound isn't important since these machines
    are operating as servers.

    I'll do a mirror hard drive to test with, if it borkes I have the original
    intact.

    Thanks all of you!
    Anders.
