as long as your drives are in the same order, ie hda1, hdb1 etc..
then you should be fine, I changed from a celery to a duron to a athlon to
an
athlonXP and didn't have to reinstall..

so you could be alright.

mobo/processor


Give it a shot...you may be suprised.  I have changed mobo/processor
before and not had to reinstall linux (though I did have to reinstall
windoze).
  If you are moving from an intel to an amd, then you might have to...I
don't recall if I had to when I went from celery to athlon.  It doesn't
hurt to try to bootup after the installation.  It will either succeed
or fail, if fail, reinstall.
