Personally I'd reccomend a clean install rather than an upgrade, either way, XP wuill intall its own drivers, there are some good 4 in 1's available now (cant remember name/version but the latest ones on viatech are decent)

Yes, do a clean install. If you do this you will have NO problems.

The ones included with XP are v4.33. But, the current ones are <A HREF="http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2" target="_new">v4.37</A>. And as the others said, it would be to your advantage to do a clean install.
