    Hello there,

    I've got a couple of issues with my Sony CR 240E and would like some advice.

    1) When I purchased the laptop it came with Vista installed. I now want to upgrade to windows 7 and would like to know if I will see any benifit from installing the 64bit version?

    How many of you have done this and have you all found replacement drivers ok?

    2) My laptop currently has two gig of RAM installed. I would like to upgraded this to four gig (two gig per slot), has anyone done this? where are the slots located? is it easy to do?

    3) The CR240E has a Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN wireless card installed. I'm also thinking about replacing this with a newer model as this card will only work with wireless N on a 5Gz band. The router I have isn't dual band (Netgear DGN3500) and sinse I about to wipe it and install Windows 7 I would like to change it.

    My idea is to fit one of these: Intel® Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300. I'm unsure what size the though?

    Again, any advice would be much appricated!
