I actually just did this.
I had my data backed up and ready and just decided that it wouldnt hurt to go ahead and see if Windows worked without a reinstall (I also replaced the vid card and proc). Booted up, found all the new hardware, and still works fine.
Its going to need a reinstall soon anyways, but it was a nice experiment, and I was glad to see that it worked.
