    If you choose to buy it with XP as the OS, it'll be supplied with a 'Drivers CD', containing all the drivers for the hardware the laptop has in it :idea:

    But it's handy to know where to check for any drivers/software updates of course, so you should make a note of/bookmark the link Steelez has found you there ;)

    Thats the problem, i have to buy it without any OS as no one that I can find will sell it with XP. I really dont want to make a drivers cd. Do you think MSI would sell me one for XP?

    Email their support section, and ask 'em :idea:

    But I'm sure XP will install default drivers, when you boot to the desktop?
    You'll obviously need to install updated graphics drivers, but those are easy enough to get hold of.
    And you should be able to update some other drivers in Device Manager?

    Thereafter... you could use a drivers program such as Driver View to find out what other drivers are installed, then look for updates on the internet/via Google?


    Other than that... there must be similarly specced/similarly priced laptops from other manufacturers, which do come with XP pre-installed :confused:
    Acer... Asus... HP... Toshiba etc :idea: Anything on here for instance, which catches yer eye?
