Switching to 64 bit from the 32 bit version - I'm getting all the drivers that I may need in a folder ready to install and was wondering which drivers do i really need to download?
I've got the 64 bit mobo, printers, audio, video, & virus, but do i really need to be concerned about other drivers like mouse, keybd, etc? Should I keep tracking down the latest version of all my drivers and programs or just let Win7 install them for me? I know they usually don't do the best job.

well you don't need to worry about mouse and keyboard..as mobo are 64bit capable yes drivers comes in both 32 and 64bit, u can use 32bit drivers on a 64bit operating system but u will not achieve the advantage of installing 64bit o.s..yes u should keep tracking for latest versions. Windows update doesn't always install the correct driver so avoiding this that will be better to download drivers from its own manufacturing site.
