    hi. I just bought an aspire 4730 from staples yesterday. It comes with Vista Home Premium 32bit, but I'd like to install vista 64bit on it. The CPU supports it. It has a T3400

    I went to acer support here ( http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/fo....com&siteid=7117&areaid=2&formid=3394#results ) and looked up drivers for the 4730Z/4730ZG but the drivers that are shown are for the aspire 4330.

    And the only 64 bit drivers shown are for bluetooth (which the 4730 doesnt have), Intel graphics, and nvidia graphics (which it doesnt have).

    Where can i get wifi, motherboard, touchpad drivers for this model if i decide to run vista 64 on it?

    should i call acer support and ask them if vista 64 is supported?

    thanks

    any input is greatly appreciated.

    You can search for your WiFi card drivers elsewhere than Acer. What card is it?

    There arent really Motherboard Drivers. :p

    And, you shouldnt need Touchpad Drivers. Many Drivers are in Vista. ;)

    Ok, you can check Device Manager or (you should have) a specs list. ;)

    Post back the model please.
