unless its some custom made business program made exclusively for xp..I doubt they'd have a problem running it on 7 or 8

Are you looking to run a Virtual Machine or Dual Boot?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

VM doesn't support D3D acceleration, so no... you can't game on VM

 

stick with XP, if you still able to play on that os what would it make any difference by running different os.

I have a lot of games which are not compatible with xp or 32 bit... So there's no way to do it?

Before you try, have you looked to see if the manufacturer offers drivers for your hardware for Windows XP? I'd start there and if not, I don't think it's worth pursuing. Especially if there's missing network and GPU drivers. It's definitely possible, though.
