    Hello all, new to the forum.

    I got a P205D-7479 for Christmas. Awesome little notebook, just a slow hard drive. I'll end up putting in a 7200rpm drive so Photoshop isn't so darn slow.

    I've been on the fence about going Vista 64bit instead of 32bit. 2GB is just not enough for what I do. (I'm a 3D Animator.) I've been trying to find any sort of start into getting all the drivers together, but I've found v.e.r.y. little info about getting all the necessary drivers together. And I'm not going to spend the money getting the OS and the extra memory if I'm not confident in driver support.

    Toshiba's website doesn't seem to have much of anything, I'm probably going to email their tech support but I'll probably get some scripted message back.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Been doing some more hunting, google seems to be a bit better after some better wording in the search. I'll just list what I've found so far for reference and anyone else who may be hunting down drivers.

    *edit* totally forgot about the windows attempting to find a driver by itself or via the net. I'm still looking regardless.*

    I can't test these right now as I don't have access to Vista x64 yet. Gonna see if I have a friend who has the disk and just run the 30 day trial on another partition.
