Help PLZ

Yes i am getting a new motherboard due to dell not having normal motherboards to screw with me on my new case and since they also blow my "nerves" by not making the heatsink fit with other 775 sockets, now for the question, can i use my dell installation of XP Pro when i re do my pc?

    Is the motherboard from Dell?  If so, it has a Dell bios and your OEM version of XP Pro should work fine with no need to activate.  If not, the Win XP will refuse to load.
