Beware...

Before doing anything check the manufacturer of your laptop/desktop to see if they 
have the drivers for XP first.

I have a HP G6033EA Laptop and they don't have the drivers for the graphics NVidia 
Geforce Go 6100 or the Broadcom wireless adapter, as well as some other needed drivers.

They only have the Vista drivers, not XP drivers.
