Need to re-activate vista if install new Mobo/cpu? Mike M 12.07.2007 23:30:02 Hi, I am wondering if I bought a new intel core 2 duo cpu and motherboard, that I would have to re-activate Windows Vista. When I did it with an old xp computer, it made me re-activate it. Luckily, I had another xp at home to do that. I just don't want to have to pay for another Vista Ultimate. Thanks, Mike
