Absolutely.  Linux isn't  Windows... The  only thing  you might  need to
reconfigure are  the obvious  things like network  card and  video card.
Other  than that  Linux is  very happy  moving from  one motherboard  to
another.

You might  need a  new kernel to  take advantage of  the dual  core, but
other than that it should be  smooth as banana cream pie. You definitely
shouldn't need to reinstall.
