It will work but it might muck up SLP so your OEM operating system won't work.

its ok i dont mind if the OEM OS its vista lo. using xp the now . i tried to download it there it wont install its says it need to be under MSDOS mode. tried command land. no luck always get errors. tried the AMI flash utill but it wont up date because the file from Uniwill is a .exe and not a .rom file ..
