    There are no official HP XP drivers for the dv5. You might be able to cobble them together by searching the internet, but I can tell you from personal experience it's a pain in the butt.

    For the win. If you want to make you machine run better and who doesn't really, I'd suggest a clean install if you can get a disc. A clean install might make more of a difference than XP because HP puts a ton of bloatware on there.
