    Hi guys, just trying to work out what I'm going to need to do to get this working. I'm getting fed up of all the daft stuff Samsung have put on this laptop, and I've got hold of an all installations version of Vista...

    So, I'm guessing I can't use my product key with x64 Vista Ultimate ;)

    But if I install x64 home premium I hear that shouldn't cause a problem.

    What functionality am I going to lose?
    Graphics card drivers: From laptopvideo2go
    sound card:Realteks site?
    ethernet/wifi: are intel standard, can I find these?
    Bluetooth driver: ?
    Fn key driver: ?
    Anything else glaringly important that I'm missing out here?
    Should I just install x32 or will I be able to get around the driver issue? Cheers.
