    Is there a reason to install Win 7 Ultimate 64bit onto a Vaio P (2010) edition? :confused:

    The device has only 2GB RAM and comes directly with Win 7 Professional 32bit.

    If it does make sense, are there any Win 64bit Drivers for the Vaio P available for Donwload on the Sony Website (did not find any yet)?

    Atom Z500-series does not support 64-bit architecture. That is why there are no 64-bit drivers for the Vaio P

    eg: Z520 [ link]
