I have built my past two computers and just assembled my first 64 bit system. Come to find out there are no drivers available from linksys for windows xp 64 bit. I bought it when I heard I HAD to have it. Now, I've read on a post in the wireless network section saying that just because you have a 64 bit processor does not mean you have to have a 64 bit windows. How does that work? If I install my regular Windows XP Pro SP2, will it work? What are the draw backs? Are they worth me going out and buying a brand new card that might have 64 bit?
Another question...I read that netgear has beta versions out for Vista, and they MIGHT work with Xp 64. Anyone had any luck? This is the link I was sent to for those drivers..

So, I'm going to give the netgear a world this weekend because my roomate has a WG311 v3 and its on the list of working with vista beta drivers.
One last question..I was told that linksys bridge WET54G would work for me as well with any wired network adapter built in or otherwise. Has anyone had any experience with this model? I have read mix reviews at newegg.com saying some have great range with it, others say it stinks. I am about 35-45 feet through 5 walls from my router.
Any suggestion are very appreciated! Thanks a lot in advanced! Pulled my hair out for 3 weeks with this!
