I have an emachineT1100 and WinXP home edition came with
it. Now I want to change the motherboard and the
processor (change the system). Can I exchange my Emachine
WinXP for a winXP that works for pentium4 or Athlon?
 
You'll need to purchase a new conventional copy of Windows XP.
The version of Windows XP that shipped with your eMachine will
not work with a different motherboard because it was designed
specifically for the original factory hardware configuration. You
cannot exchange your eMachine Windows XP for another.
