I already did, it depends upon the License but most likely it would be Single User therefore you can install on only one PC and Activate it

Yes, offcourse. When you will reinstall on the same pc you have to reactivate it, but there are still number of times AFAIk but i can be wrong.

u can activate it for AROUND upto 10 times on any ONE pc at ONE time.
after that u have to contact/phone personally for activating ur copy.

this licensing thing makes XP different than Win 98, good old days when all you needed was a cd. this is why government institutions are finding it hard to pay for XP in govt. office.

actually winXP checks for hardware components to check whether it is being installed in some other pc, except ram and removable drives . it records harddisk number and motherboard IDs and send it to microsoft. so hardware chang like this will definitely affect licensing.
