Default Windows OEM license

I built a new computer, and activated my OEM version of Vista Home Premium
x64. Long story short, after a few days of using it my motherboard is
defective, is being returned, and I am replacing it with a different brand
motherboard. Am I going to run into issues with activiting my new install,
once I have a different motherboard in?

When it says non-transferable, which part of the computer does that refer
to? Is there automatic enforcement of the policy built in?

Default RE: Windows OEM license

Nevermind. I should have done a search. There's a good thread if you're
looking for the same solution entitled "Vista Ultimate OEM".

Seems that if the board is defective, Microsoft will give you a new
activation code. If you are simply upgrading because you want better
features, that will not fly.
