    hey, i 'm going to upgrade my vista basic to business and I have a question. does the stock drivers shipped with my computer work with 64 bit business? or 32 bit business?

    *i doubt 64 would work but 32 should right?

    no 32 Bit drivers are diffrent from 64 Bit drivers and cant install 32 Bit drivers on a 64 Bit OS , here is a link to a load of Vostro 1500 X64 drivers and i am guessing that the 1400 and 1500 are very similar. and the stock drivers shipped would be X32 Bit i would stay with a 32 Bit OS and only go to a 64Bit os if you had 4GBs of ram

    cool thanks, I have no need to up grade to 4gig of ram while my graphics card is the bottle neck. 32 bit work with any 32 bit vista no matter if this basic or ultimate right?
