Do the 2623DDU drivers support Vista 64-bit?

Not everything has been ported to 64-bit yet.
I'd be interested to know exactly what benefit you think you will have by running 64-bit Vista (as opposed to 32-bit Vista).

A ton of benefit can be gained running 64-bit over 32, as long as you have 64-bit applications. we use our T60's as demo units running a mixture of 64bit and 32 bit guest o/s in Xen and VMware, while onsite at customer.

Other applications apply as well:
Various different Cad systemwill run 64-Bit with huge gains
Photoshop for windows while being 32-bit is able to access more system memory with the new way XP 64, and Vista handles memory allocation.

The list is huge, if you can live with the pitfalls like, limited driver support for external devices.
