Re: How does Windows 7 handle Motherboard and CPU replacement?
If it was an identical board then you'd be fine but the windows files (unlike linux) are dictated by the HAL. As I said I recently swapped round two ASROCK AM2 motherboards both with Nforce 630 chipsets... The linux server took it all in it's stride where as I had to rebuilt the Win7
