Upgrade, AMD to Intel, should I re-install Vista?

Current spec :-

Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
X2 3800+
2gb DDR

Changing to :-

EVGA 650i Ultra
Core2Duo 6300
2gb DDR2

Do I need to re-install, or is it worth trying to see if it works first? Cheers.

It might work, although I'd still advise to reinstall it anyway just to avoid any hiccups and just for a fresh start.

You should be able to do a repair installation, which will find the new hardware but leave your settings and files the same.
