I dont think there will be an issue as long as you provide the proper driver for the MB. Pre-Installed Vista should work with your H/W change.

You will need to re-install and you will need to re-activate (if it fails rung up MS on the number provided and explain, they will be ok)
Do you mean I'll have to scrub the disk and do a "clean" install? I have done that many times in XP and others, but never on Vista.

Yes a repair install should be sufficient which will leave your data and settings in tact. But you should do a backup of everything you can't do without before upgrading to your new mobo.
