    Windows 7 64Bit Wireless N compatible PCI Card

    As title says, I am having the most difficult time finding a card compatible with W7 64 Bit w/ Wireless N. All I can find is the USB ones, and I just am not a fan of those. I searched all of Office Max / Newegg / Tigerdirect and bestbuy and just could not find anything. Looking for one around 50... anyone have good tips or recommendations?

    I've read alot of reviews that say vista 64 compatible saying won't work with Windows 7. Wish someone made one designed for W7 64 bit.

    no, they don't say compatible with win7 x64, but I have a very hard time seeing how they would not be, as most cards like that do not require drivers

    Don't discount the USB ones. I've been using a Belkin USB N adapter on my Win 7 64 box since early beta. No issues or problems at all. Been quite perfect actually.

    Ive been browsing in stores for a new wireless N setup, and have noticed that pretty much all the PCI-E cards say windows vista x64 compatible on the box, while some of them have stickers attached saying "Goto (manufac. website) to download windows 7 x32/x64 drivers)

    So I would say, whatever PCI-E card you like that is windows vista compatible...... and head to the manufacture website and see if they have some windows 7 x64 drivers for it.

    And the problems keep on coming. Got a card, Netgear PCI card with that extended white box thing. Speedy fast internet, works awesome performance wise.......... side effect: Causes my sound to lag, I heard only 2 options, 1. get a more stabler connection, where I have Wireless N, and I am 100% connection, or B get a new card..... any quick fixes?
