I have never had any problems moving a Win 98 drive between machines regardles of mobo. Just had to slowly and methodically reinstall drivers and things. Hence my reccomendation to install one thing at a time.
With winXP, sometimes swapping them won't work, especially if the mothorboards are different manufacturers. You can however use the sysprep utility before hand to remove the hardware info so that the next time it boots up it redetects it all. This works well and yes, this also requires a re-activation.
westothemax: Technically what you did was not perfectly legal. The license you bought was to use Windows XP on a single machine that supported 1 or 2 processors in that machine. It is not a license to run the same copy on 2 different processors.
