    Hello!

    I searched a bit for a driverpack for my new OS, but couldnt really find one immediatly. I saw some forums where people were talking about using the 32bit drivers (all of them) and they will all work for 64 too...

    Is this correct? If not, where should I get them?

    Thx a lot

    I have Vista x64 now on my G1s and it is using 64-bit drivers from Asus (see: asus.com).

    It's also possible you do not need to download the drivers -- many people report the drivers on the CD are dual 32/64 bit.

    Newer ASUS laptops are arriving with the 64bit and 32bit drivers on the 2nd install DVD.

    My usual upgrade path for an unknown laptop / PC is to screen capture the device manager list (with all tabs open) as this will show all the hardware and drivers you may need to find. Any drivers that I cannot find you can get their PCI ID from device manager and google for it to find equivalents that will work.

    As for using 32 bit drivers on Vista 64, you cannot. You need specific 64bit drivers for Vista 64.

    it seems that the drivers 'made' for 32 are good for the 64 too (they have seperate '64bit files')

    Install 64bit is a pain grrrr
