Question 1

Can I load Windows XP on this MB?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't have any issues running XP on this motherboard. just make sure that you have enough ram to support XP/your setup. The only real warning I have is to make sure to clean out your motherboard and your pc about every 3-6 months, my motherboard overheated after 2 years of consistant use. just take good care of your pc.
