    Does it all come in 64-bit flavors? I had a look at the Lenovo support site and only a few of the downloads specified on what kind of OS they would work on.

    Being a business laptop company, Lenovo supports 64-bit operating systems quite well.

    I'm running the 64-bit RC of Windows 7, and in the case where a driver isn't bundled, Lenovo has even had good beta drivers on their own site. I've ordered my T400 with Windows Vista Business 64-bit for that reason (although I ordered XP restore media as well).

    I think the only driver that I didn't use from the Beta Windows 7 driver set was a Vista 64-bit wireless driver. Windows didn't automatically detect that.
