Changing Motherboards

I might be swapping an Intel 875PBZ with an Asus P4P800 SE.

My questions is:

Will I have to reinstall the OS? I'm currently using XP pro.

I seriously can't believe no one has responded yet. It probably has something to do with the holiday or something like that. I'm asking because I don't currently have an XP pro disc. Bueller, anyone?

it may work but you should at lest do a xp repair and you need a disk for that

You can't trade/sell outside of the classifieds, sorry. You don't have access there

I would backup files and just do a clean install to prevent any issues. I have swapped boards from RMA (same board mind you) and had Windows problems that I can't recover from (probably about 2 times now >.<). You could try a repair install, but like I said earlier, I'd rather not take the chance and just do it thoroughly

what will you be doing with the old board?
