My mobo and processor is faulty so I need a new one.
If I install a new mobo and an AMD processor (have P4 today) and
intend to use my old harddrive with XP.
Do I then have to reinstall XP?
You will have to do at least a repair installation. See "How to Perform a
Windows XP Repair Install"
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
Occasionally that isn't sufficient, and a complete clean reinstallation is
required.
If yes, is it any better if change to Intel Celeron or P4?
It has nothing to do with whether or not you will need to reinstall, but a
P4 is faster (as well as more expensive) than a Celeron of the same speed
rating.
