What hardware changes are ok ?

[Dave]

Sorry for the repeat post, forgot to enter my email address

I've noticed in other posts it is supposedly ok to replace
the hard drive, re-install XP and still be able to re-
activate.

1. I would like to upgrade to a larger hard drive. Is the
above really true ?

2. Where is it documented just what parts of my computer I
can tinker with ? I would like to upgrade memory and add a
pc card device. OK for reactivation ? How about a new
monitor ?

Please have a look at the following article:
