The specs are still listed for the old hardware. Celeron E3200@4.0GHz / eVGA 780i A1 / 8GB G.Skill DDR2-800 4-4-4-12
I ordered a A4-5300 / AsRock FM2A75 Pro4 / 8GB Corsair DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24. I also ordered a new NZXT Source 210 case because the old case was a too cramped.

You shouldn't have to do that, when you boot your main rig it should just reconnect the mapped drive. Though I have seen sometime where when a computer boots it will say it couldn't reconnect all the network drives. You just go into computer and if the mapped drive has a red X on it you double click it to reconnect, but even that shouldn't be necessary unless for some reason your main computer isn't getting network access right when it boots. If you keep having problems with the mapped drive not reconnecting after a reboot and it annoys you to the point that you really want to automate it you can write a batch file to remap the drive on every boot. The one I use looks like this:
Code:
ping 192.168.1.1 -n 10
net use s: /d
net use s: \\server\share /user:newtekie1 password /PERSISTENT:Y
The ping command pinging my router at the beginning just adds about a 10 second wait time before the actual mapping command executes to make sure your network connection is established. And if it isn't established it will actually wait longer, because it the ping command will have to wait for the timeout.
The first net use command delete the shared drive, I do this to make sure the second command complete successfully and doesn't conflict. Sometimes if you don't don't delete the mapped drive first the command to remap the drive won't work.
And finally the last line maps the share named "share" located on the computer named "server" to drive letter S with my username and password(which isn't really password
).
So everything in red you are basically going to have to change to match your setup.
