Alienware does not provide any drivers for 64 bit version of any OS. ATI does not provide Notebook drivers for some weird reason either.
I currently run XP 32bit and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista 64. Does anyone know of a good driver to use with these OS's.

Vista/Win7 will install all the x64 drivers but the following: the following are both x64/x86 drivers
ATI Catalyst x1800/x1900: 8.371 070424a-047190C (Alienware Vista x86 only Version: 8.332.0.0_030607)
Realtek HD Audio Manager and driver (enables volume knob, and muting of speakers when headphones used)
VIA RAID/SATA driver (needs to extracted to usb thumbdrive/floppy and installed at Windows Installation)
Here are the drivers: http://www.notebookforums.com/thread207292.html

Windows Vista® relies on digital signatures for kernel-mode code to increase the safety and stability of the Windows platform and to enable new customer experiences with next-generation premium content:
• Drivers must be signed for devices that stream protected content. This includes audio drivers that use protected user-mode audio (PUMA) and protected audio path (PAP), and video device drivers that handle protected video path-output protection management (PVP-OPM) commands.
• Unsigned kernel-mode software will not load and will not run on x64-based systems.
• Boot-start drivers must contain an embedded signature.
