   Only if it's on an OEM machine that has an unecessary Intel driver on it.   
      
   I slipstreamed XP Pro with SP2 then used nLite to slipstream the full   
   version of SP3 on top (just in case SP2 was needed - some confusion over   
   that).   
   The Windows directory is only half the size of that resulting from adding   
   the SP to an existing installation.
