Windows XP is essentially a very stable operating system, but difficulties can arise due to incompatibilities between the various drivers that have to coexist on your computer. This stability largely depends on your choice of driver and ensuring that you have set-up the device on your PC correctly. There can be no doubt that having the most up-todate driver will give your computer better performance and greater stability, so spending some time making sure you have a set of current drivers for all your peripherals is time well spent.
