Default moving an xp installation

hello,
i wish to install xp on a new system...basically I'm
buying a new motherboard.

my copy of xp was purchased on ebay with a stick of RAM.
It is not retail per se, but it is also not a branded OEM
version. It's the "for sale only with a new pc" version.
I installed this copy of XP myself.

Can I change motherboards on this type of copy? I know
the hardware change rules...i will be changing too much.
So, can I basically install this copy on a new machine?

Yes, u can change your motherboard, you might have to re-
activate windows XP though, it should be fine.
