Hi everyone, I just installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my Vostro 1000 and was wondering if anyone knew where 64 it drivers were.
It runs great, but I can't find a chipset driver for it.
Thanks in advance.

BadgerJoe, welcome to the forums.

Not sure if the chipset driver is included in this,

ATI Catalystâ„¢ Legacy Display Driver

as both the chipset (RS480) and the video adapter (Xpress 1150) have been declared legacy status due to their age. It will have a video driver that should work with it (may not due to being a laptop), and there is a good possibility that the chipset driver is included in the package. One way to find out is when installing to select Custom instead of Express install, that way you will be able to see what drivers will be installed.

It looks like the only thing that does not install is the card reader and wireless LAN. The 32 bit wireless driver installs fine and after doing MS updates, all the hardware drivers are installed, including video.
But I would prefer not to depend on MS for divers if possible. I am still looking for compatible drivers. If I find any, I'll let people here know.
Thanks.
