Toshiba Satellite A300 (T550)

Has anyone got one of these?

I'm wanting to format because of all the bloatware but i'm not sure about waht drivers i'll need to reinstall?

All the drivers on the Toshiba website are for Vista 32bit (but that's fine since 64bit will run 32bit drivers I think???)

You can't use 32bit device drivers under Vista x64.

Are you planning to (re)install with a copy of Vista x64

AFAIK notebook comes with x86 A.K.A. 32-bit Vista HP pre-installed.

I (nowdays) find it easier to just uninstall/clean (e.g. Norton make an excellent remover/cleaner for its software) any bloatware & apply latest updates from the website.

Yes I was going to reinstall with 64bit (I don't have a 32bit disc..) but I can only find 32bit drivers so I can't really do that :\

Erm, aren't these the drivers for x64?

I was on a totally different site (still Toshiba owned) that was only showing 32bit drivers :|
