I am very glad to have found this forum and do hope it helps me with Vista.

I installed Vista 32 Ultimate and will now be upgrading that machine with a new CPU (Core 2 Duo) - with the hardware upgrade I'd like to move to Vista 64 Ultimate but have been unable to find any information on if it is possible to install x64 Vista from Vista 32 so as to save my settings.
*I did check and have downloaded all my hardware 64bit signed drivers so that should make the move a bit less painful.

Another question I have is will XP 64bit drivers work with Vista 64bit?

than

i have the Abit NF8 mobo which has the Realtek sound card onboard. i went to Abit and they dont have the Vista drivers, they only have up to windows xp and even xp 64bit drivers but no vista. I went to the Realtek website and they have the "vista realtek drivers" (both 32bit n 64bit) but wen i try to install i end up getting an error. it'll say "installing driver software" or something along those lines, a few secs later it sais there was an error triying to install "realtek sound device".

last night i was able to install some sound driver, but it promped with with one of those "its not the proper drivers, blah blah" i went ahead in installed anyways and it worked fine, but wen i rebooted, i got an error and had to insert the windows cd in and go through the repair thing.
