    Hello, would this notebook (or processor) support a Vista with 64bit instead of the standard 32bit, and if so has anyone problems with their drivers for the 64bit version?

    also what advantages are there for 64bit and the disadvantages at the moment?

    thank u for your answers.

    Hey Arca, I recently install Vista with 64bit early this morning, been working on my 1530 all day now. I currently got almost everything to work with 64 bit. I used some of the 1330 xps 64bit drivers. The Dell Quickset 64bit for 1330 work for 1530, the fingerprint however only have the driver and no software so it pretty much useless. I couldn't get my Touchpad to work right, it work but the scroll thing doesn't. Aside from those issues, everything work fine on my new Vista 64bit. :)
