Wireless Network adapter question

[MrFedEx503]

I need to make my computer wireless. and I was wondering how many people use the USB adapter, and how they like it. or if anyone bought a PCI slot wireless adapter... any feed back is appreciated

I've heard PCI slot adapters are a lot faster...

I had one of the usb wifi cards. It worked fine and served it's purpose. PCI you will be stuck on a desktop. PCMCIA you get stuck with the laptop. USB you can move to whatever the fuck you got at the time.

i guess what im trying to figure out is there a huge performance difference between the two

I just read that USB ports only have 12 Mbps bandwidth, so PCI would definitely be the way to go man...

You better get an external antenna if you rocking the pci card. Contrary to popular belief the speed PCI or USB might provide won't do shit for you if you ain't optimizing your fresnal zones

Wireless is all about optimizing your fresnal zone
