    Laptop: Sony VAIO FZ285U

    Hello. I recently upgraded my Laptop with 4 GB RAM.
    With the factory installed version of Vista Ultimate, the OS only recognizes 3 GB RAM.

    So, I took the opportunity to install an x64 Version of Vista Ultimate, and It worked very well: The OS recognized all 4 GB RAM, and the system seemed to perform faster.
    Boot up time was alot, I mean alot quicker as well (this probably due to the fact it's a clean install with no bundled stuff.)

    But unfortunately there were some drivers missing:
    NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT (recognized as Standard VGA adapter)
    FlashMedia Controller (for memory stick and SD card reader)
    Wireless WiFi
    Sigmatel High Definition Audio CODEC


    So I searched on Sony's web site, but they don't have any x64 drivers officially listed there yet.

    -------------------------------------------
    :) Please, any of you guys know if x64 drivers for this PC are available or if Sony plans to release the any time soon ?
    I would greately appreciate some some help on this.
    Thank you !
    -------------------------------------------

    For now, I just returned back to the original factory installed version using the recovery DVD.
