swap motherboard?

as above is it possible?

mobo 1 is a foxconn G41MX 2.0. Chipset G41 ICH7
It has very limited overclocking options.
just able to raise FSB, ram freq., ram timings, and ram volts.
no raising cpu multi, or volts,
cannot seperate fsb from ram etc....

mobo 2 is a gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2. Chipset Nvidia Geforce 7100 or 630i
i popped this into my sisters tower today and was surprised by the options on it.
it can do all the things that mobo 1 can do plus raising or lowering cpu multi, raise cpu volts etc....

i had an E3300 (default 2.5GHz, 200 x 12.5) on mobo 1 and the max i could get was 3.06GHz (245 x 12.5) as i could not raise the voltage, etc...

i put the E3300 in mobo 2 and i played with it.
i could easily get it to 266 x 12.5 (3.325GHz) and ran stable on prime95 for 1 hour with max temp 51.c on a stock cooler

i know i could keep going higher, to find the sweet spot, with a proper cooler.

this may be a silly question, but i can assume that the gigabyte (mobo 2) is better?

and is there a quick way to swap mobo's? eg. making an system image on each hard drive and swapping hard drives as well, and then saving the images to desktops and swap back hard drives.

or will i have to reinstall an windows 7 on both

A reinstall is the best way when changing motherboard. You can end up with nasty driver conflicts for the different chipsets otherwise, that's if it boots at all.

Win7 is quite good at working out the little problems with minimal effort when swapping out a motherboard. A reboot or two and that is about it. and yes you can assume the Gigabyte motherboard is a better overclocker.

thanks guys.
i just done a fresh install on both, to save me trouble
