Upgrading OS with some old bords

I'm getting ready to upgrade some testers from windows 2000 to XP and I'm wondering what kind of driver updates I will need to do.  Here are some of my hardware components:
NI PCI 6703
Analog Input 6071B
Dig. IO PCId io 96
Hope these numbers make some sense - does any one know of any problems I will run into? 
 
Thanks.

Hello Jeremy,

Thanks for your request. Before beginning the answer a just want to know if we are speaking about the same devices. see the following link:NI PCI-6703 : Static Analog Voltage Output -- 16-Bit
NI PCI-6071E: 1.25 MS/s, 12-Bit, 64-Analog-Input Multifunction DAQ
NI PCI-DIO-96

The informations you want to have can be found in two different sources, the Datasheets, the readme file from the driver (NI-DAQ) and the Data Acquisition (DAQ) Installation/Configuration NI-DAQ Driver Support. 

Regarding the last document, the NI-DAQ Driver support, those devices are supported with the driver Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and the NI-DAQmx. Both drivers could be installed on your computer, and you can find NI-DAQmx under drivers and update

I hope this will helpful
Best regards,
Nick_CH
