    So today I finally had the time to to try and dual boot xp and windows 7. End up wasting a crap load of time.

    I can't seem to find LAN drivers or WLAN drivers for XP

    Big props/rep to anybody that helps me find them or anybody who has done this.

    Try the GX630 XP drivers from the MSI site for most of the components since they reused lots of them on the 640.

    MSI Global ? Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

    The graphics drivers you can get directly from ATI, as well as the chipset and WLAN drivers from Intel, the audio drivers and LAN drivers from Realtek, and the touchpad from Synaptics.

    EDIT:

    REALTEK LAN

    I can't seem to get the Mobility drivers to install correctly, every time I try to it says Install Package failure and I've tried 6 different driver versions.


    EDIT: NVM!!! Had to install net framework 2.0 now every single one of them is working. -.-
