You can find other more expensive options that will work for your 64 bit OS, and they will pay for themselves within a few months anyway. One bit of advice open your skype window while installing as it may prompt you there, not with a pop-up like USR's install guide suggests. I read the reviews here skipped the included disc and went directly to the US Robotics site to get their drivers. If you don't know how to tell what you have just google it, or go to "http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/41531554-d5ef-4f2c-8fb9-149bdc5c8a701033.mspx" When all is said and done for a one time $15 accessory my phone bill has gone from $40/month to $10, and I'm sure we can all use that extra dough right about now.

We use it all the time for international calls and have, so far, no problems. D-Link Skype USB Phone AdapterThe phone adapter after intial difficulties works as expected.
A great idea, but not yet ready for prime time. I had to manually cycle the power each time. Software always indicated a failed connection, even when the device was connected. We had several power failures during the week we tried to use the thing, and it never re-connected by itself.
