Well, availability or lack thereof of XP drivers for your cards is what's going to determine the practicality of your scheme--assuming that you want to retain your cards. And Artsoft is best suited to answer that one. XP programs do not talk to peripherals the same way that DOS or even Windows 9x programs do. Direct access to hardware I/O ports is blocked by the system; that's why you need drivers for devices when using XP.
Sadly, there's a lot of older hardware out there that has been left by the wayside with no XP/2000/NT support at all.
So do some checking.
