Vista - RMA motherboard- reinstall Vista64?

I'm having to RMA an ASUS M2N-E motherboard. Am I correct in thinking I
should not have to reinstall Vista64 and programs provided I replace the
existing motherboard with the same make and model (provided the BIOS is
the same or more current available from ASUS)? Reason for the RMA has
nothing to do with BIOS or chipset problems (left rear speaker output
for HD audio is inop).

Thanks,
Fitz

Hi Fitz,

Correct, there should be no reason to have to reinstall.
