    Hi all,
    for many reasons i need to setup MS Windows XP x64 on my R61 (8918-DEG).
    reasons:
    1. have 4GB RAM
    2. my job is CAD/CAM support, so every GB up is warmly wellcomed
    3. the application i work with (Catia V5) doesnt work on Vista
    4. on all workstations i support we use XP x64, so for testing reasons i need 64bit version too (differencies at VBA compiled macros etc etc ...)

    I could throw in couple other reasons, mostly personal, but anyway ... I would really appreciate any hint, tip, link to driver ... every small bit help ..

    So far i found / installed: vga driver (nvidia quadro 140m), wi-fi and network card and chipset drivers... need audio, fingerprint, ricoh 4x1 etc ...

    If anyone interested, i can post links to what i downloaded so far :)

    thanks a lot
