what hardware components can be upgraded in XP?

[segask]

I still haven't upgraded to winxp yet. I'm still in win98se. I have heard that M$ will let you upgrade things like videocards without having to buy a new copy of winxp, but what about a cpu or mobo? I figure M$ prolly makes you buy a new copy of winxp for those? So whenever you buy a new cpu or mobo or harddrive you have to buy a new copy of winxp?

 

[Doh!]

You don't have to buy a new copy of XP whenever you upgrade a hardware component. You just have to active it again. In some cases of a hardware upgrade, no activation is required at all. Again, you just buy it once and that's it. You can upgrade the hardware as often as you can.
