I have run into problems doing this, even on similar hardware.  I swapped a 
drive from a Dell Dimension 3000 (P4 HT 800MHz FSB 865 chipset) to a 
Dimension 4500S (P4 non-HT 400MHz FSB 845 chipset) with different NICs, 
sound, etc.  I had to disable rhgb to get kudzu to finish; kudzu running in 
the text window in rhgb locked up; kudzu on a plain text console didn't.  
This was CentOS 4, BTW, and I did it just four days ago.
