I have another question and I have nearly crashed google a few times researching this one out but still don't have a 100% answer yet.
My current laptop is an Asus F3 series, Vista ultimate, 4G ram, Core@duo 2.20Ghz, runs vista fine, I work in news and severe weather so I don't run too many programs, we have radio scanner programming software like Arc996 by butel.nl, some other small programs like Grlevel3 Grlevelx.com and CrossFTP basic which is very important as that how I get video out to one of the TV stations, also run virtualdub for capture and probably sony vegas soon so nothing too major...yet.
I am holding off though on upgrading to 64 bit Vista because even though 32 bit older programs will work the drivers must be digitally signed and there appears to be no easy work around, guess the only way is to upgrade and find out but I don't have as much free time to play as I would like
I am also toying with the idea since I don't have a permanent desktop about retiring this latop to the desk as that way I would also have a permanent always on ftp machine here and getting the Asus G50Vt-A2 as my new mobile laptop, I am trying not to keep looking at the Canadacomputers.com website but it's on for a really good price right now.
This 32 bit vs 64 bit digitally signed driver issue has me still very unsure of what to do.
