    Here is the problem with reverting some of the new devices that work on Vista don't have drivers for XP. There is also an API standard built in to the motherboards that can make it difficult to revert to XP, you should consult with your manufacturer or the individual parts manufaturers websites for drivers to the items not working. To say its working great would mean without issues good luck
