Hi all

Why, when i visit all the popular manufactures sites, Intel,SMC,Linksys,Dlink etc. none seem to have cards which support the current 64 bit hardware and software? I mean that, its been about 2 years now since the first 64 Bit processors hit the street and just over a year since Microsoft released its x64 edition of windows xp. Soon, we will have the new Windows Vista available, and I still cannot use any 64 bit OS on my system, because i require a wireless network card, and there are NO drivers available. I know that the drivers have to be totally redisgned for 64 bit os, but why is it taking so long!!!!!!???? Computer companies get on the ball and support your customers and user bases!!!

Frustrated computer user.

It's probably due to Windows Vista that there hasn't been such a large support basis for 64 bit engineering yet. Everyone is waiting for Vista since the XP 64-bit edition didn't do as hot as planned. With Vista on its tail XP 64bit will probably turn into a futuristic WinME storyline.
