-=PCTechTalk=- XP married to the motherboard

What are the ramifications of replacing a motherboard in a manufactured =
system such as Dell, IBM, Gateway, etc., with Windows XP if you replace =
it with a same brand motherboard from a very similar machine by the same =
manufacturer, but not necessarily the exact same model?  Would you have =
to revalidate?  Would you be able to run the manufacturer's recovery =
software from the original machine on it?  I know XP is married to an =
OEM motherboard and divorce is not allowed, but how about an annulment?  =
Exactly what motherboard info is recorded and uploaded to Microsoft?
