    Hi All,

    I've a 9400 T7200(2GHz), 3GB RAM, 1900*1200. I'm planning to install Vista x64 Ultimate.

    How can I go about it? Can someone help me with the procedures to follow?

    Thanks

    Lenovo forum has a nice guide that walks you through a regular Vista clean install for either 64 bit or 32 bit it is listed in the sticky at the top of the forum. The big issue here is to save your activation, and download all your drivers prior to installing X64. I've done it, and it works like a charm.
