how to switch from amd to intel without reinstalling?

Hi everyone,

I am having a hardware problem with my samba server. It is on an Tyan AMD motherboard, (Tyan S2469), and it appears the board has gone bad. Is it possible to transfer the drives onto my Tyan S2735 mother board without a complete reinstall? I really need to save the data on the system.

Thanks

I've done it, others have done it. It should be painless.

I've been pretty lucky, just swapping my drives over to a new board/proc with no changes whatsoever, it's worth a try
