Cool Reinstalling XP home upgrade

I'm expecting the arrival of a new motherboard/processor/ram to upgrade the kids pc. Going from a p3 600 to amd 2800+ asus mob.

I will need to reinstall win xp home (upgrade), I've had a look at microsofts support site and couldn't really find what I was after.

The questions are this:

1/ Is it best to reformat C drive prior to upgrades, due completely new mob, or after mob in?
2/ As it is win xp upgrade will I need to reinstall, 3.1, 95, 98 then xp?
3/ Is there a way to avoid having to do that as 95 was an upgrade from3.1 98 from 95 etc?
4/ Would you leave xp on an ide drive or install on a new sata?
