I've got hold of an old HP Proliant ML530 G2 (2 x 3Ghz Xeon's) and wanted to see what it is like as a normal pc. Only trouble is the chipset drivers and supported OS doesn't include XP or Vista and those are what I want to use.

Is there any way of getting XP or Vista to work?

My only other option is running a virtual XP in Linux but I would rather not have the hassle of all that.

HP stuff
HP ProLiant ML530 G2 Server series*-* HP Business Support Center

chipset stuff:
Broadcom Corporation - Storage Area Network, Network Attached Storage, Ethernet I/O, Wireless I/O, I/O Modules
