    If I want to upgrade to Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my Sony FW with Home Premium 32 bit is there anything to worry about? I am assuming it supports 64 bit operating system. Thanks!

    Dont assume you have to check! No worth upgrading if your board can't support it and you cant find help for it. Check our a technical specs page first.

    These 64-bit drivers seem to work for the whole FW line, they worked at least on my FW11M and I have no unresolved driver issues:

    Everything's there except for the graphics card driver which can be found easily (and possibly fingerprint reader driver, if there are any such FW models)...
