If this is a desktop PC with PCI slots, could you not fit a PCI board with
real serial ports on it?

A lot of people who bought Vista installed the 32bit version. As you have
found, a lot of hardware does not have 64-bit drivers, and there is
absolutely no advantage in running the 64-bit version unless you are running
applications that need to address huge amounts of memory - typically
servers.
