Does anyone know what is lastest motherboard with Windows XP driver support.

I have professional machine that just working on XP, need COM port for communication and VGA + S-video for graphic output.

Old PC have Chipset heating problems, now working with big custom made heatsink and 120mm cooler and have lot of random resets.

It works since I buy it new, now need replacement for next 5 years.

Thanks to all for reply.
 

I have topic for Graphic card in graphic card recommendation here.

Latest generation I've tried installing Windows XP and got it working was on was H61-based chipsets from the Sandy and Ivy bridge era of Intel while it was the AM2 era for AMD.

 

Can't confirm with newer generation though. :|

EDIT:

 

You might want to review this guy's YT page he's into retro stuff and making them work with older operating systems like Windows XP:

 

 

OR this guy:

Overkill Windows XP machine:

 

CPU: Sempron 2500+ / P4 2.8E / P4 2.6C / A64 x2 4000+ / E6420 / E8500 / i5-3470 / i7-3770
GPU: TNT2 M64 / Radeon 9000 / MX 440-SE / 7300GT / Radeon 4670 / GTS 250 / Radeon 7950 / 660 Ti

I'd look into the option of getting COM and S-video ports on PCIe adapters.  If you find those, you can build any modern system with Win7 or later (or Linux) and put an XP virtual machine on there with hardware passthrough. 

 

That being said, if passthrough isn't an option ... XP was around until the 4xxx series of CPUs, so I'd look up some motherboards for that generation and see if the manufacturers have drivers for XP. 

I had a look at MSI (habit of mine seeing as I have a few of their motherboards), and it looks like they only support XP up until Z77.

Can’t usi it as solution, this old machine use handcrafted electronics and personalized crafted software. It’s incredibly good solution, one older guy create this solutions and he died last year, I don’t have any access to source code. I started coding new software solution but that need some time, later this will work on linux and my problms are solved, but for now I need XP and graphic card with VGA+S-Video.
