    I want to install Vista 64bit because I want to use the full 4gb of ram. Will I have problemes with the Turbo and Eco button in Vista 64bit? The drivers on the homepage are also compatible with 64bit os but I'm not shure if the turbo button will be supported.

    GT725 is for sale with MS Vista Home Premium. I've been playing with one of those and every button on it was working perfectly.
    More interesting is where did you get that without OS?

    I think it's a shame to have 4gb Ram on a 32bit OS because you cannot use the full 4gb of ram :)

    Yes, but you can use the key on the bottom of the laptop to install the 64-bit copy of Windows, just need to get a disk.

    Oh ok thank you for the hint. Have you already tried to install vista 64bit by yourself? Are you happy with the result?
