[Tfug] A stupid Windows question that somebody...

Jim, I'm not sure but I think Dell does some "creative" power supply/mother board stuff.  You might not reach the point where you have to worry about activating XP.

I've got a consulting client with a Dell P4, came stock with WinXP,
she's got the CD.  Her motherboard just blew up, and it's pretty much
all-in-one.

Can I shoehorn a new MB in there and expect Windows to still work in
terms of activation/registration?  Sure, I'll have to mess with
drivers for miles, but...what's the odds I can get it to work at all?
