That if you change your
PSU
Graphics Card
Memory
Motherboard
But keep your HDD and CPU
Then you have to re-activate vista

I'm not sure if they can count PSU, but if you change all the others then yea
Memory is a wierd one, its only if you go above certain set boundaries, ie 1.5-2gb would be fine, but 1gb to 2gb can get you reactivating

edit - have you updated the My System bit?
You changed those things already?
Gosh.
So you don't need to re-install, just re-activate?
is this retail only?
How about just one item at a time, does it catch each one?
Well XP does, so I would guess that Vista does aswell.
I know XP also picks up stupid things and makes you re-activate your PC...I updated my graphics driver and XP said I'd made a significant change and had to re-activate...this meant I had to phone up MS to get them to give me a code as I have OEM XP Home.

It was strange, I didn't change the card, just the drivers, updated them, and, well Windows is annoying

Well - I didnt want to do it bit by bit
System is now upgraded and "reasonable - QX6700 @ 3.3GHz" not enough... but well getting there
Very reasonable indeed
Room for improvement
Whats holding you back then? ram? cooling? underwear?
Cooling I think
The ram isn't overclocked yet - since the Intel board doesn't allow it - I might move to 680i thing is for CPU overclocks this board is the best
680i gives me SLI but I won't run that
Its the underwear ive got the same problem here...
