Well if you are going to be upgrading the motherboard,you have to buy the the retail I suppose,I try to get the mobo to be the latest and the most futuristic at the time of build and stick with it,I know they get outdated faster than you can install them these days.

I will buy Ultimate OEM and FYI you can upgrade your motherboard or anything else and use the same key but you will need to activate over the phone as I did the same with my Vista OEM key, as long as it's the same machine that's all that matters. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew OS Windows 7 Ultimate Vista Ultimate x64 CPU Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz @ 3.8Ghz Motherboard eVGA 750i FTW Memory 2x2Gigs Patriot PC2-6400 LL Graphics Card Inno3D GeForce GTX260 216 SP Monitor(s) Displays ASUS VW222U 22" 2ms Response time Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Mouse Logitech G9 Gaming Mouse PSU HYTEC 600W & Thermaltake 650W Toughpower Power Exp Case Thermaltake Armor LCS (Liquid Cooling System) Cooling Liquid Cooling System Hard Drives SATA 150GB
