    Hi, I am very interested in install in my laptop a 64 bit operating system.. but i see that the drivers of the samsung webpage are only for xp or vista 32 bit edition..
    Is there a way to make vista 64-bit edition work with my samsung r70?
    why do I buy a 64 bit machine if i can't use it potential??

    Did you download and look in any of the packages? 64 bit support may be there. The various component manufacturers websites are another source of 64 bit drivers.

    The bigger concern is whether Samsung's own utilities are 64 bit compatible.

    thanks for the reply.
    Yes i know that for example i can get 64 bit nvidia drivers.. maybe also the sound card drivers.. but imagine that there is not 64 bit driver for the webcam, or the lan connection.. even if is just one thing it will do my computer not useful.
    But i think i will give it a try, and i will report it here later.
    I dont care too much about the samsungs own utilities, i dont really use them..
