    Im getting a X205-s9349 in the next few days, and want to install either Xp oor Vista 64 bit.

    Is there driver support for it?

    Any experiences?

    Thanks!

    Jesse6749 - I am running Vista Ultimate 64Bit and everything is running fine, I even got a driver for the fingerprint reader chip, but the only thing I haven't found is the upek application for the fingerprint reader but I don't really plan on using it so that is not a problem at all and WinDVD does not work with 64Bit operating system either, but all else is running smooth as silk. :D :D :rolleyes: :D

    Awesome! Good news :) I do plan on using the fingerprint reader however, so I guess I will have to do some digging on that front.

    Do you need the windvd program to watch HD-DVDs? As that is high on my list of importance as well.

    Thanks for your input!

    format13 - You need either WinDVD or PowerDVD to watch HD DVD's and I have not been able to get PowerDVD to work either because it needs microsoft certified Nvidia drivers to work.
