P5A running XP?
Hello:
I'm helping someone upgrade a computer to Windows XP. The person has an Asus P5A motherboard. I noticed on the Asus website that there are no drivers available for Windows XP. Does this mean the motherboard will not run using XP or are there some generic drivers that come with XP to support this motherboard? I know it won't be the fastest computer in the world but all this person will be using the system for is email. TIA Chris. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

So you won't need any drivers. But you find them at Asus he ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/CHIPSATZ/ALI/ Chipset is ali aladdin. If you have more than 256 Mbyte ram, it can run. Max. clock speed is 500 Mhz for the cpu. Note that agp is only 2x, so modern graphics card won't fit. Maybe a voodoo5 pci or another powerfull pci card is better. best regards John |

Most AGP-cards can be used with old AGP2X (AGP 1.0) motherboards. The problem is the other way around, new mobos don't like old AGP2X videocards.. |
