Hello, I am considering buying an F6V with the T5750 Core 2 Duo and ATi HD3470, Does anybody here own one? Or any of the F6 laptop series? How's their reliability? Asus hints that we shouldn't have problem with the 64-bit version but you can't be too sure. I noticed some drivers were missing from the 64-bit Vista page, do you think the CD/DVD that comes with it will have them?
Thank you, sorry for the loaded topic. This is my first laptop.. I am not entirely comfortable with them but I have to have one.

I am not sure if it says so on the CD. The best way would be to have an F6V owner confirm this.
I don't think there is an owner's lounge for this model. You could start one -
I have an F6V and I looked at the asus download page. There is are some drivers for the F6V but a lot are missing (ATI driver, Functional keys) or are for other hardware configurations (e.g. intel integrated graphics). I think officially only vista 32 bit is supported. It ships with vista business.

How about make an image out of your current 32 bit install (using Norton Ghost, or Acronis True Image), and simply installing Vista 64 and trying the drivers? Since you have the image, if things go wrong you can be back up and running in 32 bits in half an hour. Shorter than the time you wait for somebody to answer to your thread here.

PS: Good lord, the original OS was so overwhelmed with crap. Do all laptops have this much bloatware? I wasn't worried at all when I deleted the 32bit Vista because I disliked the crap on it. -
Asus has not so much bloatware...Try a Sony laptop and then you know what tons of bloatware are.
