My chaintech VNF4 Ultra died and newegg no longer carries it. I'm looking at the epox EP-9NPA3ultra as a replacement.

Does anyone know if, because they both use the NF4 chipset, I can simply hook all my components up to the new board and keep on chugging without windows or my drivers getting screwy and needing to reformat/reinstall everything?

Also, windows will probably need to be reactivated because of the hardware change, but no one knows about if the drivers will be ok since they are both NF4 chipsets?

A few years ago I had a motherboard die, but the cpu, and ram were OK. The replacement board had the same chipset. Once installed I fired it up and windows booted normally. That is the best possible result.

I think you might have the same luck since the chipsets are the same.

Let us know.
