Installing XP on laptop

I have a copy of XP that came with my dimension 3000, and since have aquired a Latitude C840 with Windows 2000. If I used the XP disc that came with my 3000 would it require me to reauthorize the OS when I start up? Normally I would just install it, but I don't know if the age of the computer will change the way the OS recognizes that the computer is Dell.

    It is illegal to do what you want, that OS is tied to the original PC for life. You will need to buy another copy of XP if you wish to legal about it.
