Then again 5.4.1 this afternoon wanted me to close my browser (Mozilla Seamonkey), Trillian (the chat client) and Solitaire (!!! of all things), before it would allow the installer to continue. ;-)
If you are still using the same motherboard (faint hope as a P4 won't fit on a P3 mobo ;)), changing CPU and RAM won't make a new hostID. I know, I've done it. Changing only the P4 Celeron 2.3GHz and 512MB of PC-133 RAM to a P4 2.8GHz with 1GB of DDR333... all over the place my hostID stayed the same, while it just updated the CPU/RAM change.
Now, what you can try is to move the harddrive with BOINC on it to the "new" computer. Reinstall BOINC and maybe that it will continue with the work it still had.
Jord,
I have a separate hard drive, with BOINC/projects on that is moved from computer to computer when I build/upgrade them. It is fitted as drive D, and I do a re-install of BOINC, after testing for 24hrs or more using Einstein and Seti, I'm satisfied the computer is healthy and the drive is removed from the machine.
I've had no problems doing this and it always picks up and reports the changes of cpu, OS etc in the account. (The account is not mine its my yougest sons, his machine was nearest and on when I first wanted account_project.xml files.)
