Contact Realtek - their card, they will produce the driver if one exists.

Where do you see a 64-bit driver for Win x64 on this page?

I was thinking about modified the INF file myself. Windows XP 64 is looking
for a line like nt 5.0 64 or something like that. Do you know exactly what
is it looking for?

If you don't have a 64-bit driver written for Win x64, it will not do
you any good to modify the .INF file - YOU MUST HAVE 64-BIT DRIVERS!!!!

OK - to clear this up.
Modifying the INF file will not let you install a driver if you do not
actually have a 65-bit x64 driver.
INF file modification has NOTHING to do with getting a driver that is 32-bit
to install on a 64-bit system.
You cannot use a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system - INF modification only
allows a single INF file to be used to install drivers on multiple
platforms -- by allowing the driver selection wizard for each platform type
to pick the correct DRIVER FILE out of the package.
The set of files included with the INF must include a 64-bit x64 driver
file - the inf only drivers the install wizards or processes.
