From the point of view of someone who has in the past only replaced graphic cards, hard drives, a cpu and cooler a few times and nothing else, how much of a pig is it to replace a mobo in a system but keep all existing components?
 
Is it literally that simple, just unplug everything and put everything back in the same corresponding sockets?

How likely is it that i'd have to reinstall the os?
 
My plan is to go from an AMD board to an Intel one, however I also intend to changeover from xp 32 bit to vista 64 bit soon so it's a good opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone.
 
Excellent advice from a few peeps, many thanks, am feeling a lot more confident about it now, it's something i've always avoided and asked friends to do it for me :D
