Has anybody put XP on it and if so, how difficult was it?

I have Windows 7 on it and it works just fine... Although I don't know how it handles on a day to day basis, I use mine as a Torrent Downloader and nothing else... Install was a breeze via USB THUMB DRIVE

Yes, but may want to get a spare hard drive with the win xp os on it, that was the issue i had when i got mine. it was a bit challenging in explaining to the seller what part was damaged, ended up going with another seller to fix the problem twice. Good luck.

I used it on a 800XP. Not sure about the HD. To me the ROPS on the XP and HD appear the same.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

Yes very well. That is assuming that you are talking about 32 bit XP, as it was written for 32 bit operating systems. I could be wrong about the 64 bit being a problem, as I have no experience with 64 bit systems.

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card. Otherwise, you can damage your system.

It seems to work just fine with my brand new laptop that definitely does not run Windows XP. But it is a tiny chore to figure out how to set it up, but it's done great with mine so far. And I believe I run windows 8.

It works for some people but crashed a lot for me with Windows 7 and Windows 8. When I used an XP machine and it worked fine. Your mileage may vary as others have had success with Win7 and this device.

I bought this for my grandson. He's using it on Windows 7 and doing some nice animations. I don't know about XP.

Windows 7 is fine, tested and proven. I don't think XP will be a problem since it runs in 7.

You know what I'm curious of. If you can upgrade it to Windows Vista. My brother keeps saying I'll have to do it eventually and I wonder about that if what he says is true. Though with the introduction of so many netbooks carrying XP to the market, I wonder what Microsoft is going to do about their plans to stop updating XP.

I didn't try it on Windows XP. I set up a computer with mint linux, and expected there would be installation issues, but, after I installed the card, turned on the computer it worked (got to the internet via WiFi) without installing anything. My guess is that you'll have the same experience with Windows XP

You can, but it takes tinkering in the settings & putting it in xp mode which is less secure
