Unlike proprietary solutions the abit AirPace Wi-Fi is highly flexible as it is compatible with ANY PCI-E socket. This makes installation as well as migration true child’s play. In addition to the common client mode, software Access Point capability is also supported. abit – pioneer in PCI-E wireless technology.

The real question is does it have x64bit windows drivers because I tend to run into problems with that and 70% of wireless cards.

this is awesome, ive been wanting to free up one of my PCI slots for a while now, this card would be perfect!!

According to their website it supports the following OS's:

Windows 2000/XP/server 2003/64bit XP

It would be interesting to see if anyone could get it to work on Vista or Ubuntu.
