I have just installed windows7 64bit but now I realized that I haven't downloaded the 64bit versions drivers from the gigabyte website.
But I have the driver installation dvd provided in the motherboard box so, I want to ask are those drivers in that dvd compatible with 64bit windows or they are 32 bit and how to check before doing anything wrong? I haven't installed the drivers yet, I want to ask you guys first..

couldn't tell, we can't see it. But usually they don't install on the wrong os.
 
For 64 bit Windows, 64bit drivers, period !!!
Some drivers come with files for both.
Drivers on CD are usually few versions older but should work for beginning, you can update later. All modern support CDs come with both versions, you just may have to find them manually in the CD.

when I install from the driver cd some drivers clearly indicates 64bit (like vga, audio) version but some doesn't(chipset, Intel ME)..
