      Hello All,

      I currently have PFSense 2.0 Running on a dual Core E2160 and it works great, but I have a better mobo and network card that I want to use, but dont want to lose my config setup.

      Can I just remove the harddrive from this PC and stick it in the new one? Or should I save the config setup and reinstall it?

      Thanks for any help

        Personally Id re-install and reload config. But that is just me…

        Either way your gonna have to re-set up your physical interfaces...

          Hi, as long as your MOBO are supported with 2.0.

          I tried this kind of test several times on my lab and works perfectly, since both MOBO are supported with the current version.

          thanks
