My old gateway system came with windows media center edition 2005. Recently I went out and bought vista ultimate 64bit, so now I have a unused xp license key. Is it legal to sell this to someone, or do gateway/microsoft have rules about selling copies of windows that came with their computers?

No, the Microsoft OEM EULA doesn't allow the copy of Windows to be sold without the computer.

I think ebay lets you sell OEM cd as long as you sell it with a piece of hardware from original PC. Bigger issue here is unless you are installing on same brand pc, the CD will not install.
