Can you remove old MB Drivers without formatting?

I am switching motherboards in my gaming machine from a SIS735 to a KT266A Chipset. Can I remove the SIS drivers completely without reformating the hard drive?

It may not be ideal, but you sure can. I'm lazy and do it all the time.

If you're in 98, just boot into safe mode and delete basically everything out of device manager. May have to do a forced hardware search to get it to redetect everything.

There's a trick removing a registry entry in Win9x trigers the redetection of everything. Hardware\Local Machinne\Enum or something , search the web.
 
I've never tried it, but what I've allways heard is just delete everything in device manager, and then turn the computer off, install the new motherboard, and on boot-up it'll redetect all of your hardware (supposedly).
