    Acer Extensa 4620


    Dear all,

    I can't find on acer.com Windows 7 drivers for my Extensa 4620; Could it be that Acer does not provide its drivers?

    Pls advise.

    Thanx

    More likely that all the drivers you'll need are already built into Windows 7. Perform a clean install of Windows 7 and see for yourself. Do not upgrade from Vista -- that is the source of most issues on this board. Thanks!

    hi joedotm, welcome to the forums , as you stated Acer do not supply win7 drivers for your laptop you can still use the vista drivers though you will need to install them in compatibility mode Compatibility Mode

    Dear all,

    Please excuse me for coming back late. Windows 7 ultimate 32 bits worked fine on my Acer 4620.
    Now, since I have 4GB of RAM, I am thinking of installing the Win 7 ultimate 64 bits. I am doing some search on whether it can be installed or not.

    Please advise.

    Thanx a lot

    I would make sure there are 64 bit drivers first.

    only 4Gb of ram not worth the trouble moving to 64bit (if 32bit works good).
    you will get no noticeable speed increase. (32bit can use around 3-3.5GB of ram but 64bit os uses bit more ram so that 0.5Gb is nothing.)
    the only reason for changing to 64bit is if you really need to run 64bit native software
