No USB3 and no Intel chipset support, so I guess the answer is "no"
You'd have to click the Supermicro driver button, download each
file, and have a look around
There is a GMA driver, implying if a GPU is present inside
the Intel CPU, you'd have a driver for it. I could probably
get this from the Intel site.

You have to check each driver, to see if the VEN/DEV are
present in the INF and so on.
If we want a chipset driver, a "name" for the chipset helps. B75
would be "7-series", but a table here gives a name.

B75 = Panther Point
Then I can try the Intel site.

pantusb.inf This says EHCI or USB2 to me.

Being a null driver, it is likely intended to remove the "mark"
in Device Manager.

Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver
Can I install USB 3.0 controller driver in Windows* XP or Windows* Vista?
The Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver is not supported in
Windows* XP or Windows* Vista. For these operating systems, make sure
your BIOS settings have the xHCI Mode set to Auto or Smart Auto. This
step reconfigures the USB 3.0 ports to function as USB 2.0 ports using
the native Windows* EHCI driver.
Which means USB3 is not native to WinXP. It's entirely possible
that the third-party USB3 controllers have WinXP drivers. You
never know. Then, an add-on USB3 PCIE x1 card could fix it.
It's possible the motherboard "failed" WinXP compatiblity, because
of the USB3 port.
You may also want to track down the NIC driver.
