hi i currently run my pc on a asus p5s800vm the chipset is different to the new board im getting an asus P5LD2-SE, i've been told that i cant just plug it all together and go....i was told i may need to re-install windows! true?? and if so can i just tell the installation to overwrite the previous installation to save all my data? cheers
 
if i back it all up to a different hdd, then re-install, should i keep the backed up hdd connected or removed it?.....surely if just tell windows to do a repair install it will all be fine? - (also should i export my registry to the backup hdd also)
