Guest rafoard Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Hello I´m going to get a new wireless pci network card for my pc Intel 64 bit processor with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and i see that this device has compatible driver with Windows Vista 64 bit edition,so i don´t know if it´s compatible with my O.S. I suppose that this driver,being compatible with Vista64,is written for 64 bits O.S. but I´m not totally sure about the compatibility with XP x64 Edition. P.D:The network card is a Hercules HWGPCI-54 with Ralink RT2500 Chipset. Thank you in advance for your attention.

So drivers for XP don't work in Vista and vice-versa. For more specific info, try to contact the NIC manufacturer or chipset maker, whoever is offering the drivers.

Rafoard: I have at least 2 wireless PCI cards with the Ralink RT2500 Chipset that work properly with XP x64 and Vista x64. Follow the link that Dominic Payer posted earlier for the drivers.

You might be lucky. I've got a Canon photo printer with no XP x64 drivers, but recently Vista x64 drivers appeared. Figuring I've got nothing to lose (at worst I could restore from a backup), I tried to install them, and they work. Graham.
