    I am thinking on buying a NP9280 only to realize that it seems only to have drivers for Vista! Is this for real or are there drivers for XP 32bit?

    I am currently testing it with XP 32-bit.

    Runs fine... and as for drivers... you can pretty much find them easily.

    Motherboard... use any Intel X58 desktop board drivers
    Videocard.... use the Clevo XP drivers for the GTX 280M (on the other models)
    ..etc..

    Gophn, thanks a lot for the info :)

    I assume there are no proprietary drivers needed for the NP9280, and that the hardware keys and webcam will either install automatically or I can get from other Clevo models as well.

    Im placing an order for mine tomorrow. I will get it with the 3.33GHz i7 and I have 2 Solidata X1 SSDs that I will RAID so I expect very good disk performance.

    Instead of re-creating the wheel, if you could provide a list of drivers for XP 32-bit, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you have any unidentified devices ,or are all devices accounted for in XP?
