    These are my specs:

    T7300 Core 2 Duo
    200 GB HD
    Nvidia 8400M GT
    BD Disc Drive
    Intel ABGN Wireless

    Does anyone know if a clean install of XP Pro would work with all the hardware? I have heard that the Nvidia drivers aren't compatible with XP. I really hate vista and would definitely like to go back to XP if possible.

    Where'd you hear that from? I was under the impression that Vista was the one with driver issues.

    There are multiple threads here about this with complete details on which drivers have been found and which have NOT been found.
