Do you have a link to it please Jabes?

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=109708

This Linksys one, is apparently supported.
It uses the RT2500 chipset, so, If I'm right, On this page:

http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Windows.html

I'd download the second set of the drivers, the
USB(RT257x/RT2671

ones?

Do you guys think this will work?
If not them I'm really considering getting 32bit...

Thanks for that, but I think I've pretty much decided to go with 32bit, there's more compatability, less hastle and I think 3GB is more than enough...

I'm planning on getting Vista Home Premium 32bit, I'm not getting a new USB Wireless, apparently the one I have will work with 32bit Vista... I'm also going to get two 512MB sticks of the XMS2...

I'm not going to get Ultimate, it costs far too much, I know about the 64 bit being more future proof, but...

How do you do the upgrade thing, you ask MS for a 64bit DCD if you have the 32bit and it only costs a few quid...

You don't need ultimate anyway. The only major difference between home premium and ultimate is the ability to connect to domain networks, and the encrypted file system.

Nah, I know, I'm going for Home Premium, Home Basic looks and sounds rubbish! You don't get anything with it!

So what do you think about that USB adaptor and drivers above, think it'd work?
I've looked around, but I can't seem to find any solid proof?
