I had a few drivers issues but not a big deal but the big problem was when i tried to install/enable AHCI i tried and tried many times but at the end i gave up because i was too tired, another problem was when i tried to install Windows from usb, i created four Bootable usb disk and none of them worked i always got an error saying missing or corrupted file, i got it working after i made a copy of the iso in a CD, honestly i had a bad experience installing it but at the same time fun.

I don't know how i forgot to try driver booster maybe it could find the AHCI drivers.

I am having issues with latest version of Firefox, i will post tomorrow because for today i am done.

Hey I just thought of something have you tried enabling the visibility of super hidden files?

Xp has never played nice with AHCI. It's best to disable it in the bios.

Best to use Legacy Mode on Storage Settings in BIOS

It just needs a driver. I used to use it on my Athlon XP

Really? Interesting. Never had much success with it, even with drivers. Always seemed to cause instabilities in one form or another. Ended up as a general rule/practice setting all XP systems for legacy mode and forgot about it.

No motherboard that I know of from that time period used AHCI I don't think but IDE

Athlonite · Feb 20, 2018

Yup you had two choices IDE or SATA mode AHCI didn't come along until later

Sata is not a mode it's a Interface. AHCI is a Mode

I take it you using the EVGA x58 mobo have you looked at EVGA's website they do have a bunch of drivers for your mobo under WinXP Pro x64

I would make sure the cpu was set correctly in Windows XP too.

By the way DFI LP NF2 Ultra-B I used.

I will say though on a A64 build with an Asus board with Via Chipset it did not play nice

as a physical connection yes it an Interface but under BIOS it's touted as a mode as in mode of operation

I didn't find any driver for it.

For my board they have 7/8 drivers.

@lexluthermiester

loggan26 used to run a site called loggan's world for DFI boards (loggan26.aquis...)

That's where it told me how to change the type of processor that Windows sees in XP that is

I haven't, I think, on a 32bit XP. But you are also going to have problems with Chrome and Opera(that is based on Chrome). If you install Chrome or Opera, try to open Videocardz.com. I can't open it and I think it is because of the TLS support. XP only supports TLS 1.0. Videocardz is not the only site it doesn't open. I don't know why Firefox still opens them, but it does. Of course Firefox on XP doesn't use multithreading, so it is slower.

Yesterday I looked up your mobo on EVGA's website went through the pick a mobo pick an OS blah blah and there was a page full of drivers for your mobo for WinXP pro x64 from audio to SATA and USB Chipset Nic granted I did see the download links saying supported OS was XP/7/vista/8 x64 some may not install automatically and will need to be done manually via Device manager but the drivers are there

To me it is not that full :laugh:

i wasn't that wrong when i said 7/8

john_ · Feb 21, 2018

Drivers that do not specifically mention Windows XP 64bit, probably should be good for both 32bit/64bit versions.

@Knoxx29

I am gonna follow this thread. I hardly begin my superxp build. Feeling abit lazy to find windows xp and getting the drivers around. Since you building it I gonna give another shot. I am kind of dead in the water without a cd-drive not sure if a usb cd drive would work. Your build with Xeon is even more soap up and more powerful than AMD FX8320E I got. I would prefer a 3770k the last official supported intel cpu for xp still a popular cpu in the 2nd market in my area fetching a higher price and they sold out before I can make my move.

What gpu are you using?

BTW using the extra ram space as ramdisk is a good idea. You can use that a swap file without being limited to the 32bit windows. I have been planning that. I am not sure if that requires pae to be enabled for XP as I have to do that for my windows 7 32bit laptop before. I can't just use the remaining ram as ramdisk and I have to enable PAE otherwise the ramdisk would just take up your existing ram rather than the remaining unused one. That is downside in stability with PAE though.

johnspack · Feb 22, 2018

I should probably throw in here. I ran XP64 for about 4 years while I waited for vista to go away and win7 sp1 to be released. It ran all my games better and faster than xp32 ever did. I never had issues with drivers, but I did hunt a bit to find them. It's a perfectly capable older system for dx9 games that supports at least 4gbs ram. But I'm an oldschooler... right now dual booting win7 and ubuntu now....
