I use virtualbox. It works good and is free. I virtualized my old pc and put it in my new pc. I used a free utility called disk2vhd.

The person already posted that the laptop is sold (so surprise there), so the immediate need for an answer isn't there, but will keep in mind as I go shopping.

Almost all vendors now have a 64 bit version of a driver or program, including Adobe who finally caved and released the 64 bit Flash. The key is to get a machine with lots of Memory and Hard Drive space. With the extra hard drive space you can then get VMWare and load up as many different O/S versions as you want. With VMware Workstation you can have any OS you want at your fingertips. I have all the Windows O/S versions loaded on my machine all the way back to Win98, although I skipped Win ME for obvious reasons. I even use it to match the different environments and settings of locations that I support.
