Hi Ray,>>Thanks for that most useful info. It gives me some comfort to know that
I won't need to convince MS that it really is the same machine should I
do a major upgrade. <<
You're most welcome. AAMOF, just today, I replaced the MB and processor on one of my machines as well as changed the memory size. Once done, I re-installed XP and it didn't ask to be activated! Quite honestly, I thought for *SURE* I'd have to get on the phone with MS after that upgrade. MS really took the teeth out of activation, but kept it very quiet.
>>I have no plans to buy a second machine but your info is duly noted <<
Ahem...did *I* say that??
