smokin Any catch to swapping out a motherboard?

I am swapping out a motherboard with one of the same model due to a bad audio chip on the board. Is there anything I need to do software wise when doing a swap? Any tips or tricks to making things run as fast as possible.

Thanks!

Are you replacing the bad mobo with a new one that is the exact same brand and model? If so, then you shouldn't have to do anything special.

The only thing that may be different is the BIOS version...but that won't matter. You may wish to update your new board to the latest BIOS version.
