So i was checking out this Mobo

GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2P-B3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128482

I am wondering. Does this Mobo have onboard Audio and Ethernet? Meaning if i get it i can just plugg in my speakers / internet cord?

I'm not to smart with PC's but reading one of the reviews (incoming quote)

"Cons: XP drivers for it are junk. Don't install, don't work, so no onboard ethernet nor onboard sound.

Google tells me that I'm not the only one with this issue, not by a long shot.

Gigabyte have no working tech support, nor do they make any version of the driver other than the known broken one available."

So did this guy just run into a problem with this board, or is it just like that?
 
I'm not sure I understand the second part of your question. This mobo does come with onboard audio and ethernet. Maybe that board just doesn't support XP anymore. I know microsoft was going to stop support of XP at some point. I don't know if this has past.
 
rather microsoft supporting the xp, you need to find out if the manufacture still stupports driver for xp for the parts that are on board, also see if you can find out what manufacture made those parts and see if their online databas has those drivers. though i doubt xp would have those drivers, time to move on to W7
