charge cpu, ram, MB, but don't need to install xp again???

i use win xp sp2(traditional chinese), i intend to upgrade my cmp.
do i have any method for not reinstall xp , after i charged my cpu, ram, motherboard, display card?

yes have to reinstall. it would sometime work with xp sp1, but they purposely made sp2, so that it won't work if you change too much hardware

the main reason it wont work is because of you changing the mobo, you can upgrade the rest without reinstalling.

thanks for your replys
but i want to ask furtherly--how do i "upgrade the rest"?
what does it means?
i an so sorry that i may not know lots of proper nouns, because i come from Hong Kong, my english not very good ^^

Replace motherboard = 98% chance you will need to reinstall XP

Ram, CPU, Display Card = You don't need to reinstall XP
