64 bit drivers?

This laptop comes with a 64-bit compatible CPU but Dell is selling it with a 32-bit version of Windows 7. It may be splitting hairs but if it can run 64-bit that's what I want.

Does Dell have the 64 bit drivers for this laptop?

What specs? Nothing much in there that you can't get drivers for elsewhere - Intel, ATI websites etc.

Go to the dell support website and put the service tag into their site. It'll show what drivers are available for it.

I just did a little looking for you and the Vostro 13 does not seem to come with a 64 Bit proc. Try using a tool like SIW pull the information about the proc and motherboard

You need to get Windows 7 64 bit. 64 bit drivers wont do any good if you dont have a 64 bit OS.
