    Hi all
    I ordered an Asus s96j with out an OS from powernotebooks about a week ago and I wasn't expecting it until this friday or next monday. It unexpectadly came today, so I don't have win xp with sp2 yet. I know that if you try to install xp with sp1 it won't work due to not being able to support the pci-e birdge. Unfortunately all I have right now is windows 2k with sp2.

    I want to know if windows 2000 sp4 supports pcie. So that I can slipstream SP4 onto a new install disk and hopefully boot up my new laptop! Thanks for any help!

    Alejandro

    Why not download SP2 for XP?
