Unless it is the same brand mobo with the same chipset, then you should reinstall the OS. The old mobo drivers won't play nice with the new hardware.

Ditto! It's definitely not worth the hassle or time to try to get everything working properly with a mobo "hotswap".

yup your asking for alot of headaches if ya just switch . and your final outcome will be to do a reinstall anyway . so might as well do it from the get go .
