So after three years my motherboard (Asus M2N-0MX) has died off. As I go shopping for i's replacement tomorrow I have a concern about the data that I currently have on the drives wtihin. I'm currently running BSD 6.2, and am wondering if there would be any concern with installing a new OS on that system, would it be better to jsut install the latest BSD version, and are their any pitfalls that I should watch for to make sure I don't end up losing 750gb's of data.

The setup consists of the following(to the best of my knowledge):

Pioneer DVD drive 3ware RAID card four 250gb SATA drives in RAID 5 config

thanks to anyone that can offer some advice, or just to confirm if I am over thinking things.
