Q:

Windows Server 2003 on components that have no driver support

I recently got an i5 processor on an ASUS P7P55D LE motherboard to act as a cheap server only to realise that there are no windows 2003 drivers for the chipset and network.  I haven't tried yet but can I install the XP drivers onto a 2003 machine and hope for it to work?  Or should I go down the ubuntu virtualisation route? 
If so, would I expect any performance issues with virtualisation of Win2K3? 

A:

I've installed heaps of XP drivers in Server 2003 and I'm yet to have any issues
