Replace motherboard with same motherboard?

Ok, I know now my motherboard's dimms are bad, now if I replace the motherboard with the same exact board, when I boot it up will I have problems(Drivers etc.)Since all the drivers for that board are the same ones that are on my hardrive?

I don't think you'll have any troubles with a mobo of the same model.

Shouldn't be any trouble, provided you plug things back in the way you had them setup originally. If you had some stuff turned off in BIOS and don't do it on the new board, Windows will try to install them, but otherwise, it should work fine in this case.

there wouldnt be any prob with that, i've just recently changed my mobo with the same made but diff model ( ASUS p4p800 E Deluxe to ASUS p4c8000 E Deluxe.) the only thing i had to do is to redetect the graphics card, and the correct driver is already in my system.
