I cant seem to find information anywhere for a desktop wireless PCI card for vista 64 bit, I go to all manufacturer websites, scroll through tons of compatability charts, than look for drivers of the ones that say they work, and they have no support.

Im looking for a simple "buy this card" recommendation, price is not an issue, it just needs to work reliably.

o man i didn't even know there were issues with drivers not being compatible with vista 64. guess i might need to take that into account when i order my new pci card too. >.<

btw.. the msi link u posted seems to be for xp 64. doesn't seem to mention vista anywhere that i saw.. but then maybe i'm blind.

Good day!
Regarding the MSI Link,it's also proven to work with Vista 64bit.

Heya also.. this.

http://ralink.rapla.net/

All these adapters work with vista 64 (as I understand it) but you have to download the ralink driver. That is, not the driver off the adapter's manufacturer website. For example, if you have a linksys wmp54g v4, DO NOT download the driver off the linksys website. Go to ralink. I just ordered the Edimax-7128g so I'm going to download the rt2500 driver from ralink when my parts arrive. Hope this helps.
