TSGL: 3rd party drivers?

[Kathryn Bassett]

I'm going to be getting a new computer shortly and I hope you can give me some advice on where to turn regarding 3rd party drivers. The computer I've chosen only comes with Vista and I want to dual boot to XP. Sony says they don't have drivers to do that. First, what I'm getting, then on to the question.

I changed things like this:
Intel® Core 2™ Duo Processor T9500 (2.6GHZ)
For sake of argument, I chose Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business with Service Pack 1 but I want XP Pro
4 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-667, 2 GBx2)
640 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [5400 rpm]
Optical Disc Drive, Display, Wireless, and Battery - default, and no TV Tuner.

I have googled all kinds of combinations and guess I'm just not getting the right combination of search terms. Can you figure out where I would get all the various drivers I'd need to be able to dual boot and have things work under XPpro? 

Hopefully, and thanks,
