I'm looking for a Vista 64-bit compatible network card. I looked at Linksys & Netgear { only ones I have ever used } and neither are Vista 64 compatible. What do you folks recommend I don't want to pay a arm & a leg for it eather. Just need a 10/100 card.

I have been really happy with TrendNet equipment, not expensive and works right out of the box. This one looks like it works with almost everything: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6833156107
Or this one even better with Gigabit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 24f8dce995
You won't even need drivers for these cards, Windows will find the card and install drivers.

Both say Vista, but not 64 bit specifically. But they should work. When you look at the specs, don't confuse where it says "bus = 32 bit PCI 2.2" as not being 64 bit compatable. All PCI buss' are 32 bit regardless if the version of Windows is 32 or 64 bit. Kinda confusing. Chris.

Pretty much what Chris said....

Read the reviews

Other Thoughts: Was furious this didn't have Vista drivers. Went to Linksys site and they said "Not Compatible." Noticed the Realtek chip on the card so I tried the Realtek drivers that came with Vista 64 and VOILA, it worked fine!!!

So the Linksys EG1032 is Vista 64 compatible ??? If so AWESOME I have the Linksys EG1032 Ver. 3 card. So all I need is the realtek drivers ?? Which ones the ones --> Found Here <-- { Auto installation program (support Vista 64 and Vista) (Submission ID: 1310628) }

Thx guys I found the netcard { was buried in my room } and found the realtek chip on it { should have looked first before asking } sorry and found the right drivers.

Realtek is on alot of cards. My DLinks from a few years ago are Realteks. Odd thing is one got mucked and identified itself as Realtek in the Device manager while the other system still identified it as DLINK 530 or something like that.
