FantasyAcquiesce Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello MSFN, I've found a great deal on this PC model, and find that it would fit my needs perfectly to test demanding software on a Windows XP installation. However, I realized the chipset provided by Dell lacks a Windows XP driver. This model has a Q87 chipset and uses Intel HD 4600 Graphics. I've located the graphics here: But, I have yet to find any answers regarding whether the video drivers will work fine. I've previously tested HD 4600 Drivers for Windows XP from the snappy driver installer pack (on my AIO 2015 HP), BUT found numerous glitches. The PC would have momentary lag and PCSX2 games had numerous glitches: the polygons were often black, input lag, etc. Has anyone attempted to install Windows XP on this model? I have not had the best of luck on modern PC's in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubbertville Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I know this doesn't have to do with the question, but your media file link for this is down, I was hoping you might still have the files and if you'd be able to re-upload them?

I had tried all available Intel video drivers for XP. I'm pretty sure XP is fine with Haswell systems if you add a discrette videocard that supports Vista / XP and disable Intel in the BIOS . Yes , in some mobos you need to do it manually. Edited December 18, 2020 by Dixel added info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
