I succeeded with 1-G Ram. (2-G was failed.)

I think David is right, and it should be working for others.

Good luck!

To install Vista x64 on your 710:

1. Remove any USB devices (other than mouse / keyboard)

2. Remove any memory in excess of 2 GB

3. Install Vista x64

4. Goto http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 and download the 64-it patch

5. Apply patch to your x64 Vista installation

6. Re-install your memory

7. Re-connect your USB devices

That should do it; it worked for me.

Dell's xps 710 h2c will not support 64 bit Vista or XP for that matter, I have been trying every work around I can think of or find on the interweb. It has to do with the dell bios even though the chipset supports intel's em64t tech. Trying to install 64 bit will only result in bluescreen, and Dell does not seem to know when they will have a fix.

Anyone have any word on the compatibility of Dell's 710 H2C with Vista 64-bit? If so, what are the issues with compatibility and do you have any insight on what Dell is going to do, if anything, to help thier XPS customers with information on how to install the OS. My main concern is addressing (simultaneously) more than the 2.75 gbs that a 32-bit system currently addresses.

Is there any update on Vista compatibility with XPS 710?

Dell does not sell Windows Vista 64-bit. You can buy 64-bit CPUs from Dell all day but if you want Vista 64-bit you have to buy it separately and not through Dell.

Thanks Lionel,

It is 11 PM Eastern and the Vista option is already posted. 32 bit Vista Ultimate is an option. Well Done. 64 bit is going to be available when......?

I am frothing at the mouth, pawing at the ground, ready to pounce. I get the first Vista system in the office!
