There is no guarantee that drivers are available for your hardware under XP.  Have you confirmed that XP drivers are available ???

You could opt to dual boot Vista/XP then revert to Vista if XP proves problematical.  Here (http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-vista-xp-vista-already-1946.html) are are one of many step-by-step instruction sites on the WWW.

Good luck.
