Any chance we can see a similar run through for XP, considering SP3 is out? It would be much appreciated. :~)

I'll give nLite a spin at integrating SP3 into Windows XP SP2 when it's available as a final product. Thanks for asking.

and it did wonders for me. I added the nVidia 680i raid drivers and it was the only way I could install Vista x64 bit on a new computer build. Definitely worth checking out.
