If you TRULY only change the processor - it is possible you will not have to
activate again (registration is optional, activation is required.)
However - if you have to change the motherboard along with the processor (I
would imagine you would need to do at least that) - you will probably (at
best) have to perform a repair installation and likely actrivate your copy
of Windows XP again. Not like that is too difficult - especially if you
have a Retail Copy of Windows XP...
