As both a Windows and Mac user, I'd say never. Cause Windows XP, in my
experience, never boots right if you pull a motherboard and try to boot
with your old system. And, if it does boot, Windows knows you've changed
systems, and you need to re-authenticate it. You basically have to
devote hours to reinstalling Windows. Not fun. Not fun at all.
Here is a good explanation of the ordeal one would face.

that point, you might as well just buy a completely new machine, no?
How often does the average Wintel user upgrade their motherboard?
