    My dv6157 has a 32bit home premium vista upgrade coming for it.

    Since i have access to a 64bit anytime upgrade disk and a 64bit processor (Core2Duo T5200) can i install from the 64bit disk and use the 32bit key?

    Do HP have 64bit drivers about for this laptop?

    Thanks in advance :)
