Motherboard Upgrade and XP

Greetings!

I just upgraded the motherboard and CPU from a 370-pin 1.1 ghz Celeron to a
478-pin 2.4ghz Celeron. What do I need to do to get my currently installed
Windows XP to load up with this new set-up? I don't want to completely wipe
my hard-drive and start from scratch, 'cause I don't want to reload all the
software.

Any help?

Thanks much!
Max.

With luck :O you should just need to install the board and cpu and fire it up,

Stick the Mainboard driver disk in and install the necessary drivers for the
IDE controller and maybe the USB controllers, sound card and ethernet drivers
.. There is a possibility that the WPA "might" want to you re-activate it.
