Yes, for other drivers is in driver CD. Audio also. When installing it, there will appear a few windows that said A new hardware was found. Ignore it.
BUt after I install it for XP, there is no Dolby Sound setting instead it was Realtek HD Audio manager exist. Why?

Same here but look carefully there are 3 tabs related to "dolby" at the mid bottom.Try check it out.

I'm planning to buy this one soon,but with all the problems all of you are facing with driver for Windows XP, then should I go with Vista? I prefer XP tho, much less resource hogging.

It is ok to install XP on it but just take some patience hunt,download and install the VGA and nforce driver - other drivers like WLAN can be found in the provided DVD resource.All the drivers in the DVD actually are for Vista but WLAN driver works with XP.

Hi!Any idea where I could download the above driver?  Thanks a lot!

nforce 630a
Here you go.Next time try google "nforce driver" or just visit nvidia site.
