XP install question.
I'm going to be doing a fresh install of XP on the system below. Not an upgrade. Gonna wipe it and start fresh. Now for the silly question. After installing XP, Will I still need to install/load the MotherBoard drivers? The via 4-in-1? I've heard that XP likes it's own drivers. Or dosen't the OS load MB drivers? It's probably a silly question but I just don't know.
Thanks.. specs: CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1600+ MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-7VTXE RAM: 256MB DDR PC-2100 VIDEO: GeForce2 MX 200 32MB HARD DRIVE: Western Digital 20GB - 7200rpm CD: 56x CD-ROM Floppy: 1.44MB MODEM: INTEL 56k V.90 PCI OS: Win98se 2 Case Fans |

I've built two systems this year with mobo's that have VIA and installed XP on both without installing the 4in1 drivers on the mobo CD.
If after install you are having some kind of problem that will be addressed with a 4in1 update you can go to mobo website and download latest drivers then. I haven't had to. Chas

You don't need to load the 4-in-1 drivers with XP. XP has its own drivers.
