Can I install Windows XP on this system?
Last response: in Windows XP
Hi guys,
I am trying have a dual os on my system but I been reading that windows XP is not compatible or have issues with some newer hardware. I need to run some SCSI controllers which doesn't work on Windows 7. I will post my specs below for review.
My current computer:
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
If this doesn't work can someone post some links on some cheap computer that runs windows and have plenty of pci and/or pci-e slots?
thanks

Windows XP compatibility mode comes in handy. And its a built-in feature in Windows 7. You can choose to run any program under its compatibility mode according to Windows version requirement.

Sorry this is so delayed, but for whatever you are doing, have you considered just making a virtual machine(of Windows XP) in something such as Oracle Virtualbox(free) or VMWare(not free)? It would not be as performance based as if you had installed it as a dual boot, but you will be able to do work and all.
