x64

Planning on build a new sytem around:

[cpu]Core 2 Duo 6600
[mobo]Asus P5W DH Deluxe
[hdd]2x Raptors in Raid 0
[ram]G-Skill 6400HZ
[gfx card]EVGA 7950GX2
[sound card]Sound Blaster X-FI
[dvd drive]Samsung SH-W163A Sata Drive
[modem]Netgear DG632

What drivers are essential just to get x64 to work?

I have found x64 drivers for, gfx card, sound card. I assume drivers/firmware updates aren't required for cpu, hdd and dvd?

Are x64 drivers required for Intel RAID or SATA setup?

The p5W looks to have full x64 support, can anyone confirm this?

Tnx in advance.

I have a printer, and have got x64 drivers for that. Sry should have mentioned that earlier. Im just concered about the main components really, as long as i can get x64 to work, then that will be ok.

Thx a lot for your help, those drivers are for the jmicron raid and not intel raid tho. I wonder if the x64 are supplied with the mobo, for the intel raid.

Are x64 mobo chipset drivers required?

Thx so much. Found raid drivers on intels site. Just downloaded the manual and it has x64 support out of the box for the sata/raid drivers.

I just remembered i have a canon A620 camera, but i think i can access them through the card reader in my printer. Canon really need to pull there fingers out and get some proper support out.
