Known issue with XP3 & AMD.

More accurately: known issue with XP SP3 & AMD in some HP OEM
installs.

I have installed SP3 on several AMD systems without any problems. I
do check for intelppm.sys on AMD systems though, but on the AMD
systems I have updated so far, I haven't found the offending setting.
