it may well boot, but for max performance you will need to reinstall

It is a possibilty, but its also highly unlikely.

What do you currently have, and what are you getting?

I dont know why and how this alwyas happens to people, most people say you need to reformat when geting a new mobo/cpu, that NEVER happens, and as long as you uninstall the mobo drivers or install the new ones before putting the nw mobo in i have never had to reinstall windows either, the only time i didn;t change drivers i did have to reinstall windows, so i asumme it was from that but who knows, my windows installation was pretty bad then anyways.

i have changed mobo/cpu comboinations 8 times i can count. and ram should not be a problem at all.

8 times? Maybe because of the method your using?

Even if you think you wont have to re-install, you should backup all of your documents and files first.

Once you install the chinese langauge, you have to restart the computer to make it to work. PM me if you have any more difficulties, because I install it on there no problem.

I always do a repair installation BEFORE booting the computer with the new hardware so Windows will set it up correctly. Then install the drivers from the motherboard disk.
