I don't recollect the location - some ms knowledge base - but I understand
that ms uses a point system to decide when it's time to reactivate. they
assign points to hardware devices, and if the sum of the points of the
devices that you alter sum to 10 or greater then you must contact ms to
reactivate.
the MVP's would know more about this.

I am going to upgrade my graphics card from and Nvidia 6600gt 128meg to
a 7600gt 256 meg card.
Is this going to cause activation problems? Also under XP I would
normally remove the drivers, shutdown the system, remove old card and
install the new one and reboot. Then reinstall the new drivers does
this sound like the right plan.
The need to reactivate should not be triggered with a video card change.
I have done that with no issues. Check the documentation for the card
to confirm the installation procedure.
Why are you posting this to me? I'm not the one with the question, and I
already replied to the OP.
Sorry JW, I misread it.
