    Did anyone try to install 64bit Vista on their SR because I was thinking about upgrading my ram to 4GB and need a 64bit os to see it all. I looked on the sony site for 64bit drivers but can't find any.

    Sony hasn't officially released 64bit drivers for any system except the fw series as of right now. Wanna be a lab rat and see if the fw drivers work for you? Lol

    I tried installing 64bit vista on my SR, twice. This was before FW 64bit drivers and I could get everything work except the Fn keys which forced me to install 32bit :( and I do have 4gb ram
