Hello

I am about to change the inside of my computer pretty
drastical A new motherboard with a processor and memmory.
also with an new DVD writer and SATA drive..

That pretty mych will be a new computer to my Windows XP
pro.. As I understand I have to contact microsoft after
doing this since my windows XP will cease to work after a
while ?

Anyone know how and ware i should "register" my new
hardware at microsoft or is this done "automagically" by
XP itself..
