Change motherboard and prevent B.S.O.D in WinXP

Unlike Windows Vista or Windows 7 (or Linux of course), WinXP is not smart to "re-align" itself when a motherboard is replaced with a difference chipset.

Most of the time, u will be greeted by a nice BSOD and more often than not u will need to do a clean WINXP install or repair it via orig. CD.

found some nice links on several options on how to avoid this.
