    I can't find them on the official Acer web site because they never released this computer with XP Pro 64bit. But I have a version of this operating system that I want to install. I just don't know if the drivers exist to be able to have a working computer after I do so.

    You better not! ;)

    Afaik there never were any really good drivers for WinXP 64. Neither Microsoft nor any of the hardware vendors cared too much about stable drivers - if any were released at all for this system.

    Either use the 32bit version of XP or go for Windows 7. Even though it is out on the street for less than 6 months, the 64bit drivers are already quite fine. I am typing on an 1810T running Windows 7 Pro x64 myself.


    Just my 2 cents...
