Difference between PCI-GPIB interfaces

I'd like to know what the difference is between the PCI-GPIB interface for windows 98 and the PCI-GPIB interface for windows XP.  I've seen that you can use the 98 version on XP computers.  I've never used the XP version.  Are there any differences or benefits in using the XP version?

Hi
As far as I know it is the same hardware only package with another driver, or even with the same driver.
We never bother and buy the xp version because there is no version without software, and the newest software is always on the web.

Hi moli33,

What Albert said is correct.  There should not be any functional difference between the old and new hardware.  Some physical differences are shown in this KnowledgeBase.  The difference in the shipping packages include physical changes and driver updates, but the functionality of the board itself is the same.
