Purchasing Keys

Say you purchase a copy of Windows XP Full install and install it on your computer. It works great so you want to install it on 2 others. Can you buy just a CD Key and use the same software CD, or do you have to buy a whole new CD and everything.

If it's $100 you might as well buy it OEM on newegg for $90.
