I have a copy of Windows XP Home OEM currently installed on an AMD machine (939). In the future when I decide to get a new CPU and Motherboard, would my Windows install still activate on the new hardware? Or would I have to buy the OS again?
New CPU, Mobo, but same HDD - still need a new copy of Windows?

Think you'll need another copy. OEM XP is tied to the mobo, change that and you need a new copy of Windows.
