    Greetings all,

    I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my Ferrari 5000 from Vista Ultimate 32 bit, to a copy of Vista 64 bit.

    I have looked on most of the Acer support sites for the various drivers and factory installed applications (Bluetooth VOIP etcetera) and have been unable to find anything.

    Acer as I understand it has released a version of this laptop with Vista 64 bit factory installed; I would suspect that there must be online support for that OS some place.

    I would appreciate anyone pointing me in a direction that I might find any or all of the 64 bit drivers.

    Regards,
    DrPacman

    Yeah I suggest you start trying the drivers from this list:
    ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/ferrari_5000/vista/Drivers/
    Maybe you'll be lucky and some of them will be x86/x64 compatible. I recently searched for a x64 for someone, told him the same thing and as it turned out - all the drivers were x86/x64 compatible.
