Windows XP Pro X64 , looking for wireless solution

    Hello,

    I thought someone might be able to point me the right direction.

    Yesterday I build a spanking brand new pc with ALL the toys.

    When making the purchase of my brand new copy of Microsoft XP Professional X64 I was unaware of driver issues.

    I have the Linksys Wireless-N PCI, 300 Mbps draft-802.11n and would like to know if anybody knows how to get this working


    or

    do I have to buy a new wireless adapter?


    I have to use wireless in my current house but in 6 months I will be able to use a wired network in my new appartment.

    Any suggestions?

    Many thanks,

    Raz

    I think you may buy a new adaptor. XP64 is quite poorly supported by third parties. You often find solutions here http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/ though not for this.

    I've had mine a year and have only had a problem with one thing, though, a Logitech mouse. Having said that, for all its amazing stability, I'm sorry I didn't stick with 32.

    Hopefully with the release of Vista's 64 bit editions to the mainstream, x64 driver support will improve.
