    I recently got a 2nd hand m8200n. It's running Vista 32, and I'd like to upgrade to Win7, but I am having trouble finding drivers. I've also found other people having lots of trouble with the upgrade. Has anyone had experience with doing this?

    I also upgraded RAM from 3 to 6 GB, so I would really like to take advantage of it using the 64 bit OS.
