    I have ordered a Asus N53SV, and i have plans on running 32Bit Win 7, i cant run 64bit cos of 2 programs i use that dont support 64 Bit..

    On asus website, they have only uploaded drivers for 64bit, only bios and manual for 32 bit. what do i do? i have to have chipset drivers, wireless, Graphic driver, bluetooth, Camera and so on... i guess this machine only comes with 64 Bit, and thats the reason why its no 32bit driver there.

    i have found this site

    ASUS N53SV Drivers Windows 7 | Free Download Drivers

    Not up tp date, but close enough.. but is it safe?

    Other sites out there i can use?

    You should have no problem installing a 32bit program on a 64bit OS. Alot of programs are still 32bit and i have never ran into a problem installing one onto a 64bit OS. Have you tried to install them on a 64bit OS yet, i'd give it a shot first then worry about it if you have problems.

    You may be stuck running your 32 bit in a virtual machine on a 64 bit machine if you want all your hardware to work. Have you googled the drivers for 32 bit win7 and your hardware? You'll likely to have to get them for the particular piece of software from each manufacturer for each piece.
