I dont think so. I dont have Vista 64 but helped my freind build his system with Vista 64 and he does not have a floppy. I have not had a floppy in my last two builds.

I have vista 64, and didn't need a floppy. The only way you would need it is if you had to install sata drivers, and even then, you might be able to use a usb flash drive.
