I have a coupon to get this pretty cheap:

Can you tell me if this wil work for layign about 500 square feet of
3/4 inch solid flooring? It says it will do 1/2 and 25/32. DOes this
mean it wont do 3/4? I have never heard of 25/32 flooring.

If it handles flooring 1/32" over 3/4, it should handle 3/4 just fine..

Look at it this way, if it doesn't do the job and you have to rent for a
day, you're still cheaper than buying a bostich pneumatic.

My problem is it will take me many days due to time constraints.

How does this thing work? It uses air, but you still have to hit with
a hammer?

When you whack the nailer with the mallet the tongue is driven into
the groove of the previous board and then the cleat is driven through
the next tongue securing the new board to the floor. Air helps with
the second part and gives a consistent depth of nailing with minimal
splitting caused by an off-center blow or repeated blows.
