    Where can I go to make sure I get the right drivers? I was looking on the Dell Support webpage and it seems by default I can only select Vista 32 bit. I just ordered the 64 bit version. I have the disk that came with my laptop when I got it and it has the drivers, but will this work with vista 64 bit? Thanks for any help.

    Dell doesn't support it out of the box - that's why you are not finding drivers on the Dell site for it.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=246396 check a few posts down, someone posted links to some drivers. There may be other driver posts after that.

    I'm not sure what wireless card you have, but the wireless card in the post might be a different one. Not abig deal though, you should be able to find the correct wireless driver from the manufacturer.

    It is probably a good idea to get a list of the needed drivers ahead of time and burn them to a CD before hand and install them all at once.
