I dont have a link, but I read (on MSDN) yesterday (or the day before) that reporting services needs level 90.
I have no idea what this really means, or if it works on SQL2000.
I just read it, and thought I'll transfer the knowledge :)
Most of the newer SQL 2008 features will not work on a database on compat mode 80. Check the details in Books Online in the section 'Compatibility level', there's more details there.
Why don't you want to change compat mode?
