To answer your question, I always recommend a fresh install of XP.
I have seen too many problems trying to upgrade to XP.

I just read your post about your sound card problem.
Have you tried uninstalling all the sound drivers and other audio programs,
then removing the card, boot up once shutdown, reinstall the card
and select the right drivers for you sound card when windows detects the new hardware?
