Pros:

Works great for all situations except below:

Cons:

Does NOT like 64 bit computers with over 3Gb ram. Freezes my 64 bit Win7 RC1 with 4Gb ram. Do a google search of "ralink rt61 freeze" and you'll see a lot of people are having this problem. Common solutions are to 1. pull RAM (no thank you) 2. use old ralink drivers for this chipset (they're noticably slower - no thank you) or 3. wait until ralink publishs new drivers. But why wait - just buy another product if you are in this situation.
