Changing motherboard

[chilmans]

If I change my motherboard (with other processor and RAM), will my OEM windows version still work.
I will keep the hard disk drive, I only change the motherboard, processor and RAM.
Will my Windows crash or will it work with wrong drivers?

It should work. I would recommend starting with a clean install so that you wouldn't need to clear all of your old drivers.

Forgot to say: I have a windows xp OEM version
So I have no windows cd, I only have a reinstall thing on my hard disk drive

E-mail the company you bought your computer from and tell them that you want to try Linux or something.  Most of them wouldn't mind.

Locate the fatherboard, then they can mate.

Whats a motherboard?

Locate the fatherboard, then they can mate.

When a Motherboard and a Father board love each other very much they go into the bedroom and lock the door and come out with an Athalon Dual Core CPU in Motherboard's interface...

How it gets there? Well son, I'll tell you when you're older

C'mon guys, try to be serious (even if it's hard),
I want to keep my xp, so can I just swap the motherboard?

C'mon guys, you know the answer (I don't)

You shouldn't have to reformat but back up important stuff just in case.

I decided I just build a whole new computer, with new case, motherboard, processor, RAM, cd/dvd burner/player, hard drive disk, graphic card and OS.

Still thanks for comments
