nLited XP installs for a cab
spystyle:
It's been my experience that some older computer's bios won't boot a DVD, while most modern ones will.
I make a skinny XP with fat driverpacks and a small R0Mset on a single DVD, but if the computer won't boot it I use a CD version.
The CD version can have less driverpacks, for example video and sound, if you know what video card and what sound card are in the computer you can install those drivers manually.
And an arcade machine already doesn't need LAN, WiFi, and similar.
So try it on DVD first and if that doesn't work, make a CD version :)
Have fun!

In my testing skinny XP benchmarks were better than Win 7
64-bit OS is only necessary if you have more than 4 GB of RAM, see this chart of Windows memory limits :

My home PC is running a skinny XP 64-bit with 8 GB of RAM LOL
You can use Nlite to make a 64-bit skinny XP, but driverpacks are for 32-bit only. You'll need to integrate your SATA drivers with Nlite, then install your other drivers after the OS is running.
You can use Vlite to mess around with Vista and Win 7, but I don't know why you'd want to (?)
Have fun!
Craig
