Windows XP OEM and new mobo

This has most likely been asked a million times so I guess one more time won't hurt too bad! The motherboard on a computer I have put together has gone bad and at this point I do not want to/will not mess around with this board again. Will I be able to use the Windows XP Home OEM I had/have on the old computer if I use a different brand motherboard? Please don't hit too hard! Thanks

If you have the cd yes you can.
You will need to do a repair install : http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=151522
