Wireless Adaptors 64 bit Vista
I built my own computer at school this year and ran it on an ethernet cable
all year. Now I'm going home for the summer and want to set up wireless at home. Are there any 64 bit vista wireless adapters available?

Wireless Adaptors 64 bit Vista
Hi
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at it and when I was reading the reviews someone said "This card will freeze your system if you are trying to play a few select online games (World of Warcraft and Team Fortress 2) IF you are attempting to use it in Windows Vista 64-bit with more then 2 gigs of ram." I have 4 gb of ram and often play games online. Do have any insight on this?

Hi
If you are looking for hardware that does Not have any consumer negative reviews a vendor site you would not find any thing. I use this card and it is working well. However I am too old for Wireless, or Wire Gaming.  . Thus I do not know what the complains means. Gaming in general is Not as good with Wireless as it it with Wire No matter what card you use.

Wireless Adaptors 64 bit Vista
It appears that Windows Vista 64 bit looks for wireless networks every 60
secs or so which can cause lag spikes in online games which can be very frustrating, so I wouldnt be blaming the hardware, as it is a software (a.k.a Vista issue). I am sure MS and these so called contributers are well aware of the issue as it has been mentioned many times but as yet I havent seen any constructive advice on the issue. It is also disapointing that they didnt bring the issue up here. What sort of advice is "Gaming is generally not as good with wireless as it is with wire" ? Actually in XP I had no issues in wireless gaming once disabling windows wzc for over 2 years. Unfortunately there is no such option in vista. Do these forums even get looked at by MS?? Some constructive advice on the issue or even an inkling that it is a known issue and being dealt with would be nice...

Maura,
I should point out though that these lag spikles / freezes will generally not affect normal web browsing and downloads, as my experience dictates anyway. I just notce them in online games only.
