Rating: - Amazing. Works perfectally.
I got mine at a local Best Buy for about $60 8 months ago, and ever since its been nothing short of awesome. I dont know what everyone else's problem with this is, i find it to work very very well.

Rating: - Not Vista Ready , Rude Customer Service
This card does not work with Windows Vista, and if you call customer service for support they are extremely rude, stay away from this card and save your money
Rating: - Works with XP, beware with Vista
I've installed this product on two Win XP machines and it works fine. It also works fine in a dual core Intel-based HP Pavillion running Vista Home Premium. However, it is incompatible with my AMD-based HP Pavillion (a6030n, dual core 4800+) running Vista Home Premium and the Microsoft certified D-Link driver version 1.3. I've tried two different DWA 552s in two different HP Pavillion a6030n computers with the same repeatable result: total lockup requiring hard reboot. After the DWA 552 is uninstalled, ... Read More
