I want to install Windows XP?

Question

I just bought a new computer that came with Windows Vista Home Premium but I want to uninstall Windows Vista and use Windows XP Porfessional SP2 but last time I tried this I did not get sound or Internet Connection so I had to go back to Windows Vista Home Premium. How can I make sure that I get sound and Internet this time? Here are somethings I saw on the sticker thingy:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000

Each core operates at 2.6 Ghz 2x512 KB L2 cache.

Do I need to install the drivers? Where can I download them to burn them onto a CD? Is it on the Gateway website? http://www.gateway.com
