cant get NIC driver for xp x64

my rma'd mother board just arrived back and works but the on board lan does not.

its really not worth rma'ing again.

Ive tried the three old cards i have and windows wont install them.....xp will install them, windows me, 98, 95, millenium etc....

do i have to buy a certain NIC??? No specs list x64 compatability

Do i use 2003 drivers???]

whats the deal

Windows XP64 has the same build version as windows server 2003 64 bit. Try the 64 bit 2003 drivers some should work. I've got a DLink NIC at home it works well, they had 64-bit drivers. The Marvell Yukon GigE on board Port didn't have 64bit drivers when I built the system and I haven't gone looking for them since.

xp 64 has really bad driver support

vista 64 is much better

and yeah, use 2003 drivers. XP 64 doesnt actually run xp, its server 2003 - server bits
