UNSOLVED
- Personally I am sticky with 32 Bit Vista for now and maybe until my next PC which is about 2 years off.Reasons:
- Not really much software that will take advantage of Vista 64 Bit version.
- Memory - My PC and most desk top PC only support 4GB of memory which is the main reason to go with 64 bit version since it will support more than 4GB.
- Drivers - Some of your hardware drivers may not be available in 64 bit version.
I am hoping the next version of windows will be 64 bit only, by that time most new hardware should support 4 GB or more of memory. discostu668

going 64-bit is pointless right now due to the lack of drivers available.
wait until 64-bit becomes standard.- Hi cwhitmoreCheck your drivers CD that came with your Vostro it may have the 64 bit drivers on it !My Inspiron 1501 has the Vista 64 bit drivers for the hardware on the CD the only one i had to download was the Ricoh MMC Host Controller driver !!And i just looked it was there also just in the wrong spot !!If every one uses 32 bit 64 bit will never become the normal OS the computer company'scould care less they can sell it with 32 bit and make moneywhy bother with the 64 bit version when they have to spend there money to write driversfor it !!Its up to us to put the pressure on them to give us what we want !!Good Luck !!
