Guys I've got one amd system running on asus board...I've 1 simple question..
If i change my processor to a new one which my motherboard supports...do i have to reinstall xp?..I know u have to install if u r changing the motherboard...does the same applies to processor?...

Nope u wont have to.

As far I know....changing processor don't need re-install. U start using your windows XP..if it don't work properly.....than U have to reinstall it.

Yup.
No need of reinstalling XP.
99% it should work.

It should work.... but i think Windows XP may ask you to re-activate the product again !!!

yea... Xp wud need re-activation
but thats abt it

so if i hav softwares ruuning with activation codes..like installed with system id etc...i have to again enter new system id's?...

^ right
and if every thing goes correct after ur MOBO and Os detect's the new hardware
u cud run Ur Os perfectly as it was.
