I work for NVIDIA and I tested the ION chip on all OS (+Linux) and it works very well...
The ZBOX is compact and powerful, I attached it behind the LED HDTV.

Thanks.
Is it really better than built-in wifi card ? I suppose in Revo 3700 there is already N speed card ?

I donk thinks it better but in my case I have a lot of other wireless devices on my network and I didnt want them taking away bandwidth from my XBMC devices. Also, not all my other wireless devices are wifi N which means my network would slow down to meet the lowest speed (in my case Wireless B). This was the main reason why I got a dualband wireless adapter and router. I can leave my slow devices on 2.4ghz and dedicate the 5ghz channel to media streaming. If you dont have a lot of traffic on your network the builtin wireless card could be fine. does the 3610 have wireless N?

Linkysis WUSB600N also works out of the box with XBMC Live, at least my ver 1 device does. I`m not sure about version2

Unfortunatelly NO

What type of N card you have in 3700 ?
I am wondering if i can install it in 3610 ....

I think the Acer 3700 has a Ralink I did use it when I first set up my system and it seemed to work fine. You can get the Linksys AE1000 refurbed from Bestbuy for $35. There are other N wireless adapters that can be had for even cheaper if you dont need dualband.
