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.
