I am basicallly trying to switch to Ubuntu, mainly because I am a little
sick of windows :).
Actually i bought Compaq Presario V6715EN (64 bit platform) which came with
Vista home edition, I have checked the website and the problem i am facing
is, i cant find any drivers in the compaq support section and its really
hard to find 64 bit drivers for ubuntu.
Its a really long drag to find all the manufacturer sites to dig into them
to find all the drivers for 64 bit platform of ubuntu. Does any one out
there already have installed it on a 64 bit platform or especially on this
laptop model. I hope it might auto load all the drivers (maybe have all ofém
in its database).
I really would appreciate if anyone knows a site which is a good driver
search engine for ubuntu
Cheers

I'd recommend that you give Wubi a spin to test. You can install
directly from Vista, and test both 64bit and 32bit. See:

Why is the AMD64 version of Ubuntu getting downloaded and installed?
You probably have a 64 bit machine, the 64AMD installation is
appropriate for all 64 bit architectures whether AMD or Intel.
Can I force Wubi to download and install a 32 bit version of Ubuntu?
Yes, either pre-download the appropriate 32 bit ISO manually and place
it in the same folder as Wubi.exe or start Wubi with the "--32bit" argument.
