    FYI, I recently purchased an MSI 1651 ID2 without an OS and I was successfully able to install Windows XP Pro x64 (64 bit), by using the following XP 64 bit drivers;

    Intel Chipset Driver
    Intel 5300 WiFi Driver
    nVidia GeForce Release 185 Notebook Driver
    Realtek LAN driver
    Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs Driver
    JMicron Flash Media Driver
    MS-6837D Bluetooth Driver (from the MSI GX620 download webpage)
    Agere Modem Driver (also from the MSI GX620 download webpage)

    Notes: Even though the drivers from the MSI GX620 page are all described as being only for 32 bit XP and Vista, I found out that some of the driver archives do include 64 bit drivers. In the case of the Agere Modem driver, the setup program wouldn't install the driver, so I had to go to Device Manager, ask to reinstall the driver, and point it to the Vista 64 bit driver, at which point the driver installed. The only device that I couldn't install a driver for is the ENE Consumer Infared Port (CIR). (The GX620 driver wouldn't work)

    Good Luck..
