Intel => AMD = Fresh Install

I have tried swapping motherboards as you describe (AMD system, transferred over to a Pentium mobo), using Win98 and received about 20 error messages and I think I even burnt a CD with Nero.

I recently stepped up from a 2 year old ASUS AMD to a newer Thoroughbred-Xp ASUS without a hiccup - Windows XP (hacked version) did not detect new hardware. So if you move to a Pentium 4 you might get away with it.

Note: Sysprep requires identical hardware and is used to remove machine specific information such as computer name, locale and GUID. It keeps hardware information so you don't have to reinstall drivers.
