    For the 1st one, I am guessing Home Basic is 32-Bit like my Home Premium. I used the 158.45 drivers and they are working very well.

    Laptop video drivers are only based on the main OS and either 32 or 64 bit. You use the same drivers for Vista Home/Premium/Business/Ultimate. I use the newest ones, 163.14.
