I've got a copy of windows vista home premium 64-bit on it's way and this is my first try at a 64-bit OS. What I'd like to know is when I install windows and it searches for hardware updates will it find the correct 64-bit driver version or will it find the 32-bit version?

I know I have to install the 64-bit graphics and sound card drivers manually it's drivers like the network and disk drivers I'm not sure about.

It might find the standard MS driver for your hardware or it might not. It will not find a 32bit version because 32bit drivers dont work in a 64bit enviroment. Just check your hardware to find the drivers from the manufactures website so you can use your hardware to the fullest.
