About LinkBacksTomorrow I shall (hopefully) be taking delivery of an Abit NV8 SKT 754 PCI-E motherboard. Will I need to format? I'm under the impression that I will need a format, but I want to make sure before I destroy all of my installs.

format your harddrive? because you have a new mobo? if the chipset has chnaged windows will become corrupt....
Some folks have managed by with a repair install, but I'd go for a fresh install myself.
Sometimes it helps if you reboot into safemode before hand and remove all the motherboard specific drivers from device manager etc...
AMD X2 @ 2.6Ghz, X1800XL @ 540/600
I would go for a full format you might aswell have a lovley new motherboard and nice clean and quick window's to go with it.
But what if you have just installed the exact same MB? I had to replace mine with a new one because of a keyboard chip failure.
if it's the exact same hardware you should be able to get away with it imo.
