Ah great konc I bet software piracy was a problem in the day of Dos if you had time all I think you had to do was plug in a hard drive and copy everything to the new hard drive and there you would have Dos and probably Windows 3.1 for a different Pc.

Thanks Debs3759 I would like to find one with a bit more "beefy" heatsink to it as it looks like its not enough and later on I will be getting a 40mm Noctua fan for this build, that heatsink link you gave would that be enough for a AM5x86 CPU @ 133MHz?
