I know this has been answered hundreds of times, but I forget:
Since I need to replace my motherboard, what is Vista going to do when it
sees a different motherboard?

If the mobo is a repair replacement (meaning the same model etc) then it
should just work. If the mobo is a an upgrade replacement (latest and
greatest, etc) then the system should search for new drivers when you first
turn it on. If your copy of Vista is OEM (preinstalled by the computer
manufacturer) then you may not be able to activate the old copy of Vista.
What is the computer? did Vista come preinstalled,?and what kind of
replacement are you doing?
