Are you asking if that can be done? Or just thanking Sharedoc for helping?
As long as you've got the latest BIOS, you should have no problems. I've got a 770Z with a PIII 500 and I've installed XP SP2.

I had error 127after CPU change and the thread by sharedoc help me to resolve the problem.
Now I want to put Win XP on the machine.
Do I have to put all the XP Drivers first and then put XP or do I have to put only Bios update, XP Installation and then the other drivers?
Thanks,

BIOS update first, then install XP, then install drivers.

And how is the video now?
I had a 770Z with a PIII 800mhz and 512mb ram installed but i put back the PII 366mhz because the video 60% of the time seemed corrupted. (I gave the 770Z to my mother in law)

I have a 770x with a PIII 500mhz. 14.1" LCD and a video card from an SXGA machine. I'm running XP. No video corruption per se, but some pictures and videos seem to display at a lower color depth while others are fine. Andy

I ran into an issue similar to this with my 770Z. I found (and still find) that when I boot with the PIII installed, there is a chance that the video chip will not initialize properly or something, causing some minor video artifacts/corruption. I have found that if I simply reboot (and if necessary, reboot a third time) then the problem disappears. And once I've booted with the video working correctly, then I don't have a problem while it's running.
There were a couple things I found I could do that would reduce the frequency of the video corruption, but nothing that would eliminate it entirely. I forget what exactly I did to reduce the incidence.
