How many times can I reinstall that thing? I've been doing alot of upgrading, and now a new PC, I wonder if I can still use my current Windows XP key.

You may have to call MS and get it reactivated.
This is one of the reasons I still use 2K.

Supposedly you're only allowed to do it six times. This is why the Corp version of XP is so widely pirated. After that, you'll have to call MS tech support and have them activate it.

Really? 3 rebuilds ago when my dad took an interest and actually bought not 1 but 2 copies of XP i had to call MS after just 1 hardware change.

They upped the number of rebuilds after application of SP2, IIRC.
