When will Dell Release 64 bit Ricoh Drivers?
Hi all,
Somehow my post was timed out & only part went through.
It was supposed to be entitled
"When will Dell release Vista 64 bit Ricoh drivers"
Through Dell, I bought Vista Ultimate Full edt. & another 100GB 7,200RPM HDD for my Inspiron 6400.
(this way I can swap out drives, when I want to use one or the other,
& keep one from messing with the other's Boot Menu.)
I installed the 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
I spent the last hour researching this:
Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 Model has two "Base System Devices"
Listed under Other Devices, (In Device Manager)
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0592&SUBSYS_01BD1028&REV_0A
Ricoh Memory Stick Host Controller
Ricoh Memory Stick Host Controller
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&SUBSYS_01BD1028&REV_01
Ricoh MMC Host Controller
Ricoh MMC Host Controller
The SD card works flawlessly with the built in drivers Vista has, for the Ricoh card controller.
In fact, the 6400 works flawlessly, and so far every bit of 32 bit software, I've installed is working fine. I've installed games from 1998 and up, they all work, of course compatibility mode was needed for some. That was expected. All the bad mouthing Vista has gotten, must be coming from those who don't know how to run an OS efficiently, or they didn't use Vista Compatible Hardware
(I built a Vista Ultimate Gamer with a quad-core 2.93Ghz 8MB L2 on ASUS Striker with 2 BFG 8800GTX's it works great)
