Here are some tips on tweaking the BIOS. The rest of your system shouldn't give you any problems.
Step one- Set time, date
Step two- In CPU settings, disable cool n quiet, set memory clock to DDR400, play with memory timings (CAS-TRAS-TRP-TRCD), which are listed in the bios in the order CAS, TRCD, TRAS, and TRP.
Leave MA timing at 2T unless you think your system can handle 1T
Step three- in Chipset settings, enable onboard LAN, disable onboard Audio, disable AGP fast write, set primary graphics adapter, and set CPU-NB and NB-SB link speed to 1000mhz.
Step four- in IDE, disable controllers you aren't using. On all drives detected, enable SMART if you can and set PIO/DMA as high as they will go.
Step five- Enable legacy USB support
Step six- Set password if you're worried about anyone screwing around with your BIOS settings
Step seven- Configure your boot sequence. I reccomend hard drive first, optical drive second, and floppy drive third.
Step eight- Save changes, boot into XP, and enjoy your computer

I can't see any problems there.

I have that mobo with an opteron 146, 1ghz ocz performance pc3200 ram and an agp x800xtpe (pro modded to xtpe!). I can take the cpu upto 2.9 ghz and the ram to ddr460 with no problems.

I'd highly recommend updating the bios to 1.80 if i doesn't come pre-installed as the previous bioses have problems wih htt bus >274.

I find it's fairly sensible with it's auto settings too, except for the sata defaults to 'raid'. I'm running a single sata1 hdd.

Also, I had boot problems when I had my dvd-rw drives set on 'master/slave'. Setting them both to 'cable select' cured that though!

All in all I'm very pleased with this board, it is an outstanding overclocker for a small price and it is future proof with an addon AM2 / DDR2 board and offers full 8xagp suport alongside full 16xpcie. I've even pushed it's htt to 330 and this is on a passively cooled mobo (no noisy 60mm chipset fan here!)

It will boot without the drivers, you just wont get "Cool N Quiet", AGP, SATA and LAN drivers but that will still get you into windows, you can then go to Asrocks site and download, here's the link:
