hi
I have an ABIT motherbaord and currently have xp installed. I was just wondering if i took this motherbaord out and put a new one in (an asus one)is there need to re-install windows etc. as i have printers, scanners etc installed to the usb, or is this all controlled by the os,and it should be fine just swapping - as long as i use the m-board drive disc?? please help

You're hardware will probably run fine, but you're going to have to re-register XP.
