Hello.

I've just acquired this laptop, and am interested in giving XP Pro x64 a
whirl. I have re-partitioned the drive to add a partition I can party on,
dual-boot-wise. I have downloaded the trial OS, but haven't installed it yet.

Do any of these devices have XP64 drivers yet?

Hard Drive: Toshiba MK1031GAS (100GB)
Display: SiS M760GX
DVD/CD-ROM: HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GCA-4080N
Keyboard: Standard 101/102-Key or MS Natural PS/2 Keyboard
Mouse: Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
Modem: Agere Systems AC'97 Modem
Network Adapters: Broadcom 802.11g, SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet
Audio: Realtek AC'97

Thanks for any tips.

You have identified the manufacturers, so check for x64 drivers -- and
firmware updates for the DVD drive - on their websites.

Woo-hoo! I got it installed, with only 3 devices banged-out: Wireless LAN,
Audio, and the modem. The Ferrari 4000 drivers for the first two work fine,
but not for the modem. This may not be an issue, if I never use the modem.
Worst case, I'll boot into 32-bit XP for that.

Display is not perfect. The driver only goes up to 1280x768, while the
widescreen LCD is 1280x800. The image is sretched vertically, causing some
messy text in Windows Explorer, etc. Is there a solution for this?

I haven't tried any apps yet, but will soon, after I get all updates
applied, and some anti-virus installed...

look around in the other Acer Notebook directories on the FTP site for
64 bit drivers and see if they match the banged devices.. Don't have
an answer on the display. Try planetamd64 for other drivers?

If you haven't already got it, you'll need to go here
http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?id=155868 and download the 64bit
version of the driver (64vga365.zip) for your display adaptor... (be aware
that you'll need to download an ActiveX control first which is the SiS
Download Manager)
