I was thinking about upgrading my CPU on my XP machine.
Would I have to reinstall XP or reactivate the key? I
would think not since it is the same hard drive, but I
just want to be sure before I proceed
 
I just upgrade both CPU's on my Workstation. All I had to do was verify the
BIOS had the correct settings for the new CPU's and boot - no windows
re-activation was required.
 
If everything else is the same and you change CPU it shouldn't be an issue

Make sure you have CPU ID switched off in BIOS.
 
as long as you stick with your original motherboard you should be fine (even
if its a OEM copy).
