Careful when replacing too much at once... XP doesn't like it when it thinks you're moving the hard drive to a 'new machine'. Changing just the CPU or just the motherboard won't usually raise its hackles, but swapping more than one out will require a re-activation.
Also BEWARE of changing to a different type of motherboard. It'd be absolutely best if you could keep to the same model/brand of mobo, if at all possible.
