    I'm installing x64 XP Pro on my system (check my sig) after using x86 XP pro for many odd years. I was hoping I could get some help cultivating all the x64 bit compatible drivers for my system because this is a large undertaking, and all my drivers I have backed up to flash drive are for my current 32-bit system, so this is overwhelming to me.

    I was hoping I could just get some help from the community retrieving OEM drivers (not Dell drivers) for my system. I want everything up-to-date, including RAID matrix manager and chipset drivers. A little help is what I need, because god knows I'll miss something. :eek:

    Thanks a lot batboy, I appreciate it. I was just hoping to get some people to chime in as I know they are few and far in between [the users of XP x64], but I was kinda' hoping one person could pickup one or two device drivers each so I got lots of submissions and lots of choices to distribute the workload. I'd hate for you to do TOO much, well, not hate, but you know what I mean... :)

    Thats about it. Hope this helps. There may be higher versions available from Dell (released for different models), however since I am not running XP I cant verify compatibility. These should be fairly stable. Best of luck.

    So I'm trying to use nLite to slipstream SP2 into the XP x64 installation, and at first it says something like 'cannot slipstream 64 bit OS unless on a 64 bit OS system' - yes or no? I click no, so it'll continue. I click on the service pack, and it shows it slipstreaming it, and the destination folder is a temp folder, and then when it finishes I get an error saying: "invalid win32 application".

    What does this mean? Am I not able to screw around with a 64 bit OS files on a 32-bit system???
