    Hi:
    I have a major problem on my hands. I own a Vaio Z690C with Vista Business 32bit. I really want to upgrade to Windows 7, and moreover use the new Bios and Nvidia driver update, however, this seems really complicated. Sony seemed to make things more complicated by only putting the nvidiadriver in the 64bit section, so I'm wondering, for 32bit owners who want to use Windows 7 32bit, is there a way to use the new updated nvidia driver in 32bit Windows 7 professional? Also, would it be worth it since I use 4GB of ram to just clean install to 64bit Windows 7, I'm only afraid of compatibility errors with random-less-official, programs, where as since I got 32bit, I haven't had a single problem since.
    Thanks a ton. ~
