lenovo isn't supporting windows xp x64 for the x200s very well..

windows xp x64 drivers they aren't providing:
- audio (conexant)
- ethernet (intel pro/1000)
- video (intel 4500mhd)

i think i might be left out in the cold for an audio driver.

"Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products." (source)
