Actually, Windows 7 is likely to have a lot of the drivers already built into it.

This, I'm still using the network drivers for my machine from the disk because there's no alternative driver.
It also came with an actual GeForce driver for my card too so that was pretty cool to get aero on in a snap

the glassy aero affect that you get with windows 7, that's of course if you have the right drivers, makes me want to buy it even more c:

Also I haven't asked this yet, but.
Even if your drivers are compatible and your computer is compatible with 64 bit, will it STILL wipe them out?

Is your processor compatable with a 64 bit OS?

yes because 32-bit drivers aren't compatible with 64-bit systems

Is this what you mean?

protip: you won't really notice much of a difference because you only have 2GB of RAM.
make sure drivers are available for your hardware before upgrading

Why upgrade if you only have 2GB of RAM? The only difference is that 64 bit can use more than 3.75 GB of RAM.

Because this computer is slow and I really don't want to keep with vista.
But I have to go with 32 bit cause I don't want to run the extreme risk of loosing my drivers to 64 bit. :C

Thanks for your help anyways, guys. I guess I should lock this.
