Hi

I have 32-bit Vista business DVD from Lenovo. However, I would like to install a 64-bit Vista business on my Z61p. Because Lenovo does not give 64-bit vista DVDs, I will have to get a retail version/media and do a clean install.

Has anyone installed a 64-bit Vista on their Thinkpads from a retail copy ? If yes, then what about the drivers ? Are they available ?

Thanks,

I've done this with my T60 (8744-J2U). As far as I can tell, everything works fine/is supported. The only problem was that I had to manually download the driver for the on-screen display -- for some reason, System Update didn't get it.

Santa Rosa chipset allows you to use 4GB memory in collaboration to 64-bit OS.
