With the new Windows Vista you will run here into a problem, Vista permits you to change the mainboard+cpu only once, the second time you can buy along a new Vista  |

Yes, reported at least by several PC technology magazines here in Germany who has tested RC2 of Vista.
There is also a blog by the Vista devs:

The interesting part is:
On that note, today MS.com published the retail license terms for Windows Vista; you can find them here. Two notable changes between Windows Vista license terms and those for Windows XP are: 1) failure of a validation check results in the loss of access to specific features (this is the SPP news you’ve likely been reading about this past week);
I don't know If just a change of the video card for example results in a validation check failure but twice a change of mainbord or cpu does, said the testers in the PC magzines.
The bad thing, if want to play DirectX10 Games in the future, you will need Vista because as far as I know it will no be available for XP/2000.
