Do I need to reinstall XP?

I'm upgrading my Mobo, CPU, and RAM, and I'd prefer to just swap them out rather than do a clean install of Windows XP. Will I run into any problems?

if i were you id clean install xp, it only takes like an hour on most systems now. also if your upgrading ur mobo and cpu you want better performance and a clean install will optimize your performance cuz your older drivers wont get in the way of the new board
