    I have a new laptop on its way, and I'm trying to slipstream XP Home edition(unsing nLite) since an OS won't be preinstalled on the computer. I'm receiving a Quanta TW7A which is a relatively new latop based on the PM965 chipset and ICH8M SATA controller. I know ADK audio sells the same latop as the ADK 1Q SR
    http://www.adkproaudio.com/systems/viewsystem.cfm?recordid=119

    I have found the appropriate Intel SATA controller(Mobile ICH8M E/M - I'm pretty sure anyways) off the Intel Matrix Storage file, and also have drivers for the Nvidia 8400M GS.
    My question is, what else should I intergrate in the installation? I assume it would be best to install drivers for the actual chipset(PM965), but I'm not sure what driver to choose. I see 965m.inf and 965g.inf, and even 945GM.inf in the Matrix Storage file, but nothing specific for PM965. Is it necesary and if so, can someone help me with choosing the appropriate driver.

    I understand that there are probably a dozen other drivers I have to install, but Quanta doesn't provide any details as to what else is used in the laptop.
    Anyone know so I can make this installation as easy as possible?

    Much appreciated.

    I'd just install it and see what's left over to find. Quanta provides no drivers on their site?
