    Hey, I'm looking for advice on doing a clean, 32-bit windows 7 install on my Vaio F12S1E/B...

    Its currently running windows 7 64-bit but most of my audio plug-ins only work with 32-bit.

    Will I have any trouble with the drivers? I can only see (mostly) 64-bit drivers on the sony support site...

    Help much appreciated!

    there should be 32bit drivers available. if you can find them on the support site, try to search them one by one on the web. could be annoying but that could work too.

    Thanks for the replies guys... Ye I think I'll sacrifice the extra ram that I gain by using 64-bit for the plugins. Then once they supported 64-bit, I'll re-install again.

    So the problem is I can't seem to find 32-bit drivers on the sony site but I guess I can manually install them if needs be.
