Just curious about this phenomena... the world hasn't obsolete the
32-bit PCI, right?

Not that I'm aware of, but things do progress. Otherwise, we'd still all be
running computers on 8-bit hardware with CLI, and counting ram in Kbytes.

You seem to be very critical of Vista but don't offer an alternative. Can
you enlighten us how other OS' solve this 32/64 bit conundrum? I see you use
Linux. How does it deal with his?

No, you should not think this way at all. There is not a
direct correlation between 32-bit PCI and 64-bit drivers.
The 32-bit PCI is a hardware capability/configuration and a
64-bit driver is for a 64-bit operating system. A 32-bit
PCI card can operate in any OS; 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit,
64-bit, or even 128-bit; with the appropriate drivers for
the OS.
