Will I have to reinstall XP after changing the processor in my PC?
Since it's a major hardware change by Microsoft's view, you may get prompted to contact Microsoft for a new registration key.
If you are lucky then a repair install might suffice.
Probably. You'll need to reactivate and will have issues if you have an OEM licence. Don't do a repair install, there's a bug where it breaks windows update
You shouldn't need to do anything. It is possible you will need to re-enter the Windows Product Key, but this isn't usually a problem.
Even with my OEM Vista Home Basic license from Newegg.com, I was able to reformat many times on two different computers. Activation worked fine every time
