    Hi All,

    I am going to buy Asus G73jh but without any OS installed because I have Vista 64 and I`d like to install it to save some money.
    Do you think I will have a problem with drivers and other software, as Asus give a drivers disk only for W7?

    I tried this on my G73 just to see what it would be like. The driver/app disc will comlain upon running the autorun feature that it's only for Windows 7 and then it will close.

    However, if you insert the driver/app disc and just manually browse through its contents, you can install everything that way. It will work just fine.

    The other option you have is downloading everything you need from Asus's website. That will work too.
