Hi, Cari.
The OP did not actually say which Windows version he was/is using. My
impression is that he is continuing to run 32-bit WinXP on the 64-bit AMD
CPU/mobo.
If my impression is correct, then Jerry is right and an "in-place upgrade"
(also called a repair install) should be sufficient. This will reinstall
WinXP itself, redetecting the hardware environment and installing the
correct drivers for the new devices, but will preserve any installed apps
and data. A clean install would wipe out the Registry, requiring
re-installation of the apps. And if the clean install included a reformat,
the data would be wiped out, too.
Flavio, for instructions, see the official version, or MVP Michael Stevens'
version of the same thing:

If you ARE upgrading to WinXP Pro x64 Edition, post back for different
steps. And be sure to see the new newsgroup:
