    I'm setting upa dual boot xp/vista ultimate 64 on my new Vostro 1500 and am having trouble finding all the 64-bit drivers. I've seen a few scattered about on misc. posts but I'm not sure which to use.

    I've also read that Dell had them up for awhile, then took them down, then promised to put them back up...but I sure can't find them.
    Why is this such an issue? If they do indeed have the drivers, why are they reluctant to share them?

    I remember a little while ago Dell making an announcement that they will be dropping x64 support for Vista. There were lots of problems with stability of the OS, so they decided to go back to XP and 32bit Vista only for now.

    Your best bet is to go to the components' manufacturer website and see if they have em.
