x64 Drivers
x64 drivers are beginning to become more common from many hardware manufacturers. This list contains beta drivers or workaround solutions for hardware that still does not have official x64 drivers.
A driver package for many HP printers is available here.
Creative Labs now offers x64 drivers for most of their sound cards on their download page. If your sound card still doesn't have an x64 driver, you could check their beta driver page.
