you will risk blue screening because of probable driver differences.
i know from experience, i had an old hp desktop who mobo got replaced with the same model, but a newer revision type and i had to repair my windows installation.
edit: to answer your memory question... downstepping memory...
most likely yes as long at the cpu socket type, ram standards and video bus types are the same. but seeing on how motherboard resources vary from mobo to mobo, i'd recommend a non-destructive repair of your windows installation to flush out your current drivers, giving you the ability to install...
hi guys, i just got a new mobo, soket 939 ecs kn1 sli extreme. my current hook up is as follows...

aww, bummer about the oc. is there a program i can use to change the voltage on my memory? it's supposed to be 2.5v and the closeest to it in bios is 2.55v or 2.6v next value up is 2.8b which is too high for comfort...
i have a socket 939 ecs rx480-a (v1.0) motherboard with the latest possible bios update (1.1f). however, i have a 2.2ghz athlon 64 x2 4400+ (socket 939 of course) and the cpu clock by default in bios is at 200mhz. does that have anything to do with overclocking? i've seen this before on my old...
hey guys, i'm new here... so hi!
