My fedora box at home has gone through 4 motherboards with 4 different 
processors in several combinations:

Asus CUX-AM     Celleron 633
MSI MS-6568       AMD Duron 600
FIC AT31             AMD Athlon 700
FIC AT31             AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Syntax SV266AD  AMD Athlon XP 1800+

I have not had to do any reinstalls of Fedora Core 1 thoughout all of these 
combinations.

By the way, the Syntax board seems to work best with Core 1.  All hardware 
including sound was autodetected and worked first time.
