What are you talking about? Are you talking about something to install all your drivers after the install? All that info should be on your PC somewhere. There should be a tag on it with a serial or something, that has the place to download all that stuff if it is an OEM vendor.

i to have been thinking about upgrading to vista 64 bit, but i have heard of too many problems with it, i work in the computer field and i have seen pc's with 64 bit, if you aren't doing alot on it it's not bad, but if you have alot of software you have to make sure it's all 64bit compatible, 64 bit is that good unless you are going to run more then 4 gigs of ram, i have 4 gigs in my machine right now, and nothing can slow it down, i would think long and hard before you upgraded.

If your PC can already run Vista, then the only other thing you need to check is if your processor supports 64-bit. What processor do you have? (If you don't know, download a little program called CPUZ, it'll tell you)

That depends, look up the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and any peripherals you're using (outside of the basic keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers)

So you went to the manufacturer's site to see if they have 64-bit drivers?
Graphics drivers will be available in 64-bit so no need to worry about those. Apart from that any particular third party programs you use (don't need to worry about games) and any peripherals.

All the standalone apps should work fine, it's only ones that have their own device drivers that could cause issue, such as DAEMONTools - I'm pretty sure that would have a 64-bit counterpart, but other programs like it may not.

Perhaps, but I'd certainly recommend doing so as good practice when installing a new OS.
