It depends on who you ask. It never hurts to read the EULA
on the system HDD. OK, it may hurt a little, but if it
doesn't specify motherboard, many will end up taking the
interpretation that if the rest of the system was static but
only the board changed, it is the same system, not a
_second_ system.
