    I have searched around a bit but can not find a good answer. Someone said the 6xx drivers work fine on the 5xx series if you extract them from the model wrapper, but looking at the drivers, it looks like some hardware is different. The Sony site only lists a little amount of 64 bit drivers (they didn't used to list any about 6 months ago) but there are some hardware components that don't have 64 bit drivers listed and are different in the 6xx series.
    Could I get everything 100% working on a Z540 with Vista or 7 64-bit?

    Yes you can. All you have to do is get the drivers for the Vaio Z 6 or 7 series with 64 bit support.
