An OEM version of Windows XP can only do a clean installation, and can not
perform an upgrade, if that's what you're asking.

That's essential correct. An OEM CD cannot be used to perform an
upgrade of an earlier OS, as it was designed to be installed _only_ upon
an empty hard drive. It can still be used to perform a repair
installation (a.k.a. an in-place upgrade) of an existing WinXP
installation of the same type.
