Hi all,
Im new to oc-ing and have a question about xp home.
I currently have a emachine system that has a p4 1.6 cpu. The mobo is a dublin mobo and is basically a 133 system which included xp home.
I am upgrading to a 2800+ cpu, MSI kt6 mobo and 512 of corsair 3200 memory but keeping the hard drive and video card the same.
My ? is, with upgrading these components, I understand that I would need to re-activate xp home. Is it possible to use the activation code that came with the emachine that Im upgrading with from the p4 system? or would i need to purchase another version of xp?
I do have an upgrade version of xp home on cd for a different computer so could i purchase a COA from one of the resellers out there if i have to purchase another copy of xp home?
Is there a check list to follow when doing an upgrade like this or a guide line to follow involving xp?
Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated
