OK, so my understanding was:

You have a desktop Pentium 3 with XP installed on it.
And you now have a Pentium 4 also which you want to
install it on?.

OK firstly you shouldnt be running the same copy of XP on
both machines, that will violate your licence agreement.

1 disc and licence = 1 machine

However, if what your saying is that you have replaced
the Pentium 3 with the Pentium 4 and want to know if the
XP copy (which is no longer installed on the Pentium 3)
will work and what will happen interms of activation.
Then basically it shouldnt be a problem, you can install
XP on the new machine with no problem, just activate it
as you did the first time. If you have activated over a
certain number of times you may have to call up to
activate, but again this shouldn't be an issue.

Hope this clarified it for you.
