Yep.

Easily.
search for info on guiminer

What's the performance differences or newer card limitations on XP?  I have all Win 7 boxes now, but if I built others I would consider XP, but trying to install the driver and failing, I just switched gears.  Can you sucessfully run a multi-7970 setup on XP with the age of the drivers you can install?
