Hello!

I'm using AMD athlon XP 2400 and I want to change my mother board and
processor to P4 3ghz. I'm currently dual booting XP with Fedora. Will
I need to reinstall my OS's?

thanks!

Probably, Fedora will boot as is with either motherboard. If you are
worried about it, install a kernel specifically for Intel in advance of
the change, and reference the new kernel as a choice on the boot menu.

Caveat: I don't run XP.
For windows you may need to follow the instructions here:

This doesn't say that you will need to call and ask (beg for) permission,
but you probably will.
