New computer, parts compatible with XP?

[MK3Brent]

Hey guys, I'm no computer expert... I just use them everyday for work.

I needed to upgrade my computer for new assemblies now totaling 2-300 parts/sub assemblies in SW.
I bought a new DELL I-530 with 6GB of DDR and 750GB HDD.

The processor is a 2 Quad Core 2.5Ghz... but VISTA is aggravating the absolute shit out of me while I'm trying to install some software.
Graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 2600XT.

My question is: Will my hardware run on XP as far as drivers are concerned?

Well, I got around vista long enough to get SW running... but this information would still be good to know in the future.

On a side note, this computer is NIIIICE for the money.

There are drivers for the X2600 series for XP.
