    I was just browsing the support part of the Dell site and saw a link to take me to supported operating systems, it lets you choose a system and it will say which OS's are supported.

    According to the site the M1330 supports:

    Windows XP x64
    Windows XP 32-bit
    Windows Vista 64-bit
    Windows Vista 32-bit

    But the 1530 only supports Windows Vista 32-bit

    I know it doesn't really matter as many people have got 64-bit Vista running perfectly on their M1530. But does this mean M1330 users can expect support from Dell for drivers for 64-bit XP and Vista??

    Well you can order a m1330 with 64-Bit Vista now so they should have drivers available for every possible component.

    XP 64-Bit on the other hand was a mess and would be a nightmare to piece together all the needed drivers.
