I read that the OEM version is tied to the BIOS, so whilst folks changing
HD's and such in retail systems were getting prompted to re-activate, that
does not happen in the OEM one.  

So changing out hardware is easier, but yeah, since it's tied to the BIOS,
I guess you are stuck with that Mobo from what I understand.
