I put together my own computer from separate components several years ago,
and now I would like to put in a new motherboard, CPU and memory but keep
the rest the same (at least pretty much).
I had a retail copy of Windows XP Pro originally installed.
If I make what the Activation thing might consider to be radical changes to
my computers components, will that raise some sort of activation flag (it
has been successfully "activated" from years ago).
***Also what is the minimum memory you'd suggest (and not overkill) that I
should be quite happy with using XP, MS Office apps, photo & movie editing
but no games to speak of. I currently have 384 RAM and 1 gig CPU but my
computer seems sluggish to me.
Thanks.
