I guess yes, characters are bound to cd-key not to computer.

Doesn't work for me on my laptop, using the same steam account i am unable to use my character if i create one with the same name.
Probably has to be done manually somehow or you need to copy the character file wherever that is...

It is possible. There's a thread wayyy back in the Taleworlds forum about it, buried somewhere. There's probably another one floating around, but I know it's possible.

Edit:
Okay, so the thread I was thinking of is about how to switch from one CD key to another if you own two copies of Warband. But you could at least use it to make sure your computer is recognizing the same key, I suppose. Especially with the steam thing the other poster mentioned, not sure if it's much help, but here you go:

Yeah, I don't know how it differs with the steam version, but I've successfully swapped the key in the registry and it worked fine.  Steam may store this info differently, but hopefully not.
