Installing Vista x64 on the m15x/m17x (How To)

Vista x64 on the m15x/m17x (How To)

When you install Vista 64 Bit on your m15x/m17x, the following will be available:

Loudness control works (the touchbar)
Bluetooth can be enabled/disabled by the BT Button
Wifi can be enabled/disabled by the BT Button. Vista just disables the BT/Wifi device. Everything fine
You CAN actually engage the stealth mode. What it does: It throttles your CPU to about 60% Speed (2,5Ghz to 1,6 Ghz on both cores). And it clocks your GPU/Memory speed from 500/800 to 275/301 (8800M GTX). Thats nice, because it causes your GPU temp to be at around 55 degree instead of 80 in full-power mode.
Touchpad lighting will switch off when you plug in an external mouse (and back on when you remove it)
Note- To install 64-bit vista (for those without access to 64-bit media disk) download an ISO and burn to disk. Alienware OEM product key will work for x64 version. ISO recorder download

Thanks for posting this. I'm sure it will come in handy for a lot of people, including myself when I purchase one later this year.

yeah super work dude, now if only someone could write a 64 bit proxy container to run all the cool 32bit AW software like the lighting, it would be complete!

everything is taken care of... in case you are not already aware of it
I have written these guides for m15x and m17x. m17x is still in beta as I do not own m17x to confirm its working 100% but m15x rocks...!
