X64 on Acer 5002 aspire laptop
 

I just got this laptop today (really cheap too)
http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as5000.htm it has an AMD 64 ML-30
turion processor at 1.6ghz but it comes with windows xp home. I was a bit
skeptical when I bought it because nobody seemed to be using xp64 on it. The
80gb hd comes in two fat 32 partitions, I installed xp64 on the second one
(converted to ntfs). Installation was smooth and uneventful.

The hardware on laptop was

broadcom 802.11g network adapter -> still searching for drivers
Realtek AC`97 audio -> I found and installed the 64bit drivers
Texas Instruoments PCI-1410 cardbus -> drivers installed by xp64
Sis 900 based pci-fast ethernet -> drivers installed by xp64
Slimtype DVDRW SOSW-833S -> drivers installed by xp64
SIS M760GX (graphics) -> to my surprise sis had a 64bit driver for it! yay
:) http://www.sis.com/download and follow the step by step.
Agere Systems AC`97 modem -> don't use it, so don't care.

So the Acer Aspire 5002WLMI can run xp64 if anyone wanted to know. I heard
the 5020 was a better laptop tho, I think it uses an x700 graphics card

Hi,

I found these on the acer site 5020. The 80211g.rar file contains a
driver that seams to work.

Hi
Thanks for your answer, but the site ask for username and password
could you post the rar file somewhere else please.
Thanks
