Windows XP 64-bit or Vista will give you more memory support than 4GB. Unless your Motherboard does support more than 4GB of Memory, you don't need the 64bit OS.

But you have to reinstall your OS, once you upgrade/change your motherboard. Otherwise it will cause OS repairing.

if it is oem built , then you may need to reinstall window

and if it is assembled piece then their will be no need to reinstall a new window
