    Hi I was wondering if anybody who got the Vista64 edition has switched to 32 bit (I had pre intended to and got 64 bit only because it came with both) and has had any driver issues or advice on an order of installation or anything like that. btw has that issue with the WoW buttons and battery utility etc been fixed?
    I guess Sager/Compal had utilities for XP and Vista64 but not Vista32 lol anyone know if that's resolved or if they've been contacted?

    Everyone got the 64 bit Vista, and if they have the 32bit then they have to have switched :D

    Drivers you can jsut get them off of the Sager site, or the littlebits site. The Compal/bizcom sit has them too, but I find that site confusing.

    I don't know what you mean by order of installation. Do you mean drivers? If there is an order I was suppose to install them, then I certainly did not and I don't know. I don't know what battery utility you are talking about.

    I installed 32 Bit drivers and had to download them all. I didn't follow any installation order. My only problem is the buttons above the keyboard not working. I'm just starting to look into them - not sure whats wrong.

    I'm doing a battery test right now. 54% left after 1:40 of normal use with wifi on and the balanced performace setting.

    I'm writing a full review that I'll post later.

    Aren't these the drivers for the WOW audio and WOW video buttons? I guess because they're not in the Vista 32/64 folder or XP folder, these are compatible with both.

    There is no way I can dual boot XP over Vista, correct?

    I really want to avoid re-installing both OS. ; ;
