Hi
Dell does sell some work stations with windows XP Pro 64but not for home
users that i can find !
Yes some people do install Vista 64 bit now if thay go to support for help i
would not know that .
And Dell did start putting some of the Vista 64 bit drivers back late today
but not for my PC,s it may be soon thou.
Hay i was smart and saved all of the Vista 32\64 & XP Pro 64 bit drivers i
need !
At one point Dell said if there was a 64 bit drivers it would be posted for
downloads for any PC even if it was a Retail version install but no support !
Some people just does not understand what no support means ! LOL
See Yea
