Can I use an XP home upgrade on a PC that originally had
XP Home OEM or do I have to buy a full version?

Upgraded CPU and MOBO from 266 FSB to 333 FSB, still
using same hard drive w/ OEM XP Home. Have no disc for XP.

To use the upgrade, at some point you'd need a previous version to upgrade
from. If you don't have 98, ME, etc. you wouldn't be able to install the
upgrade.
