Do you have to reinstall your linux distro if you change your video card?? What about CPU?

No, and most likely, no.

Nope. For CPU, you don't need to do anything. For a graphics card, if kudzu does not automatically configure the card for you, you might have to reconfigure the card manually.

Assuming you are just using a default i386 or i586 kernel then it will run on any post pentium cpu... But are you running 64 bit in this case? Is it a 64bit distro?
