    Hi @ all

    I found on the german samsung site a complete set of Windows 7 drivers for 32 bit and 64 bit:

    Software for Q210
    Driver for Q210

    It may be interesting for all looking for windows 7 drivers and software. I actually did not test the drivers / software since I still have Vista on my Q210.

    The Q310 should also be served with this drivers software sinde both models are more or less identical hardware.

    Or you may want to go to the Samsung global download site. Here are the Q210 drivers including Windows 7 32and 64 bit. The BIOS (10LE) says XP/Vista but is dated 30 Oct 09.

    I never checked when the links were originally posted, but I agree that there are no 64 bit versions available at the moment.

    This thread on the Q310 suggests that there are problems with 4GB RAM and 64-bit. Perhaps Samsung pulled the 64 bit versions of drivers and software when the problems surfaced.

    I'm now running 64 bit Win 7 on my Dell but I haven't noticed any significant benefits while I have have encountered some compatibility problems.

    The BIOS handles all the input and output at the lowest level. BIOS updates can fix various problems and, in the case of some of Samsung's BIOS updates, introduce new problems. There, unless you have a problem which you believe that a BIOS update may fix, you may prefer to stick with what you have got.
