Hey I just switched a harddrive from one machine that had an Athalon
chip to a machine that had an Intel chip. It was XP Pro and it went
VERY WELL! EVERYTHING on the 2 machines was different, video cards,
amount of memory, chip maker, board maker, EVERYTHING! Got it up and
running in less than an hour!
I have a Volume License Edition, also known by layman as Corporate
Edition, that and the fact that it is a Pro edition, made it so no
re-registering needed.
