 I hear that.  Apparently the only 64-bit machines in my price range take
 the lowest bidder for wireless and audio chips. 
 Hmm, the Atheros wireless chipsets seem to have good support in general
 - I'd think one of theirs would work. Don't know about audio chips - my
 cheapie is an Intel and it works good enough for my composition work.
