Installing a bunch of new hardware in xp ... how to

[Zarick]

I was wondering if anyone has tried installing a bunch of new hardware .. in my case the motherboard, proc, ram and video card.. in xp by using the system recovery method instead of a fresh install and how well that worked. Right now I am not feeling like doing a full reinstall of the os.
