No, don't quit worrying. A motherboard changeout involves many, many changes
in the Win95 drivers being used, and therefore in the registry. Adding memory
or simply changing a CPU while keeping the same motherboard involves virtually
no changes to Win95 at all.
If a computer owner is changing the motherboard, the system will operate much
better (faster and with fewer errors) with a clean Win95 installation on a
newly formatted drive, with all applications reinstalled, than if they let
Win95 auto-detect the system changes that come with the new motherboard.
