They don't tend to be interchangeable without doing a fresh install, as I found out recenlty. Its because of the hardware differences.
If you have a COA (Certificate of authenticity) sticker on your PC now, then it would be fine to use asnother copy of XP to install, but register it with the product code on your current COA. So no need to buy a copy.
Thats all legal and above board.
