    So, after finding my memory controller to be fried, I've decided to replace my ASUS a7n8x-deluxe. However, I've never tried swapping out a motherboard on my active system. I found a 2.0 version, so I will not have to update the BIOS for the hardware I have currently installed. So my question is...

    Since I'm swapping out w/ exactly the same MB, will I just be able to pull everything off the old one, throw it on the new one, set up the BIOS, and boot right up as usual? I'm really hoping that it can be just that easy. I definitely don't want to do full re-installs if I don't have to. Thanks for the advice! Cheers.
