Most likely, nothing.
XP has a very large collection of drivers.
New versions of drivers will appear on Windows Update.
So, everything should work "out of the box."
At your leisure (and risk) you can go to the manufacturers' sites to
look for later (and often non-MS-verified) drivers.

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with being so unprepared. For
instance, if XP doesn't have drivers for the NIC or modem, the op won't
be able to get online to download anything! Yes, XP does have a lot of
drivers included, but certainly not all of them. Additionally, the
basic drivers included in XP very often do not include more advanced
features like drivers made by the hardware mftr. So, make a list of all
the hardware in your computer, including the motherboard. If you don't
know how to do this, download and install Aida32 (
www.aida32.hu) which
will tell you tons of information about your system, including links to
mftr.'s websites. Download drivers for the m/b, video card, sound card,
modem, nic, etc. Burn to a cd-r. Then back up all your data, Favorites,
email settings, addressbook, etc. and go to town with your new
installation.
