If you are looking for plug-n-boot, you'll AT LEAST have to run the repair option on a windows install CD before the system will boot. The hardware is compatible, you'll have to work out the software issues.

I managed to get by with AMD 939 to Pentium 4 to Core 2 Duo to Netbooks on the same install base XP before when I was testing out my N-lite XP install. All I had to do was repairs with Xp installer.
BUT, it is much easier to reinstall if you don't know how to do the repair, and driver installs/uninstalls.
So pretty much everyone here said yes I can do it, so now another question, will I loos anything on my hard drive if I have to reinstall windows or run a reboot?

That depends on the partition layout (if you have more than C drive, also D, etc and you stored your data on the other partitions not C).
BUT generally if you have only 1 partition, you will lose all your stuff if you do a "fresh" install, not a repair.
Back up the data on the HDD you need, do a fresh install is your best bet.
