You can simply unplug the disk drive and plug into the new motherboard 
and everything should be working fine.. Never tried changing from x86 to 
x86_64 , but I've changed motherboards once (from a via based to a 
nforce based motherboard). Kudzu recognized everything.
If everything on your motherboard is compatible with linux , then it's 
just a matter of booting and let kudzu run.
Also , no need to do a grub-install , unless for some reason you lost 
the MBR of the disk and grub was installed there.
