    Hello everyone. I'm about to buy this laptop but before buying I want to be sure that is possible to downgrade it to XP.
    I know that Sony doesn't provide XP drivers so this is extremelly unofficial and unsuported. But, do you think that I'll be able to find XP drivers for all the components in this notebook?

    This is what it brings inside:

    # Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.00 GHz Processor
    # 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz Bus speed
    # 3072 MB DDR2 (PC2-6400) RAM Max: 4GB
    # 250 GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    # 15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800) LCD XBRITE-ECO Display
    # Built-in 1.3 Megapixel Webcamera and Microphone
    # Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with up to 1340MB shared Video Memory
    # DVD±R/RW Drive with Double Layer
    # Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN 802.11a/b/g/n
    # 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet LAN
    # Built-in Memory Stick® Standard/Duo with MagicGate™ Card Reader
    # Built-in Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot
    # ExpressCard 34 Slot
    # 4 x USB 2.0, Headphone out; Microphone-in, VGA, IEEE 1394, RJ-11 (Modem), RJ-45
    # Approximate Unit Dimensions: 14.18" (W) x 1.5" (H) x 10.63" (D)
    # Approximate Unit Weight: 6.4 Pounds


    As you can see, there isn't to much information about the manufacturers of each component.
    Well, what do you think? Is it possible?.
