We reload systems running NT with new motherboards all the time. Some
have had the Plug&Pray drivers loaded on them (They are on the CD in the
ADMIN area) and others have not. My rule is to always run a Upgrade
Install on them to make sure that any new features of the motherboard
are picked up by NT. We have replaced Motherboards and done nothing else
and everything has been fine, but why tempt fate??? Just a thought.
