    Hi, I make this guide because I work (for now) only in Windows XP Professional x64, and I don't see nothing info about this process, and nothing about driver to.

    In the guide you have the downloads links to drivers.

    In first time, this guide is for XPS M1530, but I think that is valid for M1330, and I want that if somebody can check if all are OK for M1330 or if I need make changes in the guide.


    I can say (I used for some time in my M1530: Vista x64, Vista x32, Mandriva 2008 and Ubuntu 7.10 x64) that the laptop run very well with XP Pro x64, for professional use (CAD/CAM/3D/VFX...) and for games (COD4, Assassin Creed, MOH Airborne, TimeShift, Crysis) run more faster that in Vista, and for me, XP Pro x64 is the best OS for professional use today, in the future... I don't know if I migrate to Vista, but I think that Vista need almost "SP3" :)

    Greetings!

    Nope. Type the randomly generated set of three letters into the box and click 'download'.
