Drivers - http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AI7&fMTYPE=Socket%20478&pPRODINFO=Driver Unless you are going to install more than 4GB of RAM then I'd go Windows 32-bit; three are less issues with Windows 32-bit and there is no performance gain, and IF your primary Apps are 32-bit then they will run slower and NOT faster.
