    Hello,

    there used to be a section under the driver download when you select the OS for a 64 bit driver. its not there any more! I was considering upgrading to a 64 bit OS. Does anyone know if it'll be back?

    thanks

    A while ago Dell decided to officially not support 64 bit OSes, so their gone indefinitely.

    But the 64-bit vista is still there. So are you saying Dell decided to pull out the XP 64-bit support?

    I just check, for my Latitude, there's 64-bit vista. But I'm using xp 64, and there used to be drivers for my laptop.

    The thread is only as good as the people who supports it. The more people that update it, the more concise it will be.
