PC hardware guys....please read....Wireless NIC question
Hi there,
I am looking to get a new wireless NIC for my PC since I can't use a standard wired connection any more :cry: . I simply hate wireless networking and refused to use it in the past, but in this case I don't really have a choice.
Anyhow, it's been a while since I actually worked with a wireless PCI NIC and with all the choices out there I am somewhat clueless to the actual performance of the item vs. the marketing crap they have on the boxes. So yeah, I know we have some wizs on HAN....so let me know what you would recommend.
A/B/G preferred, but I can go with B/G.
I was looking at this card below....

P.S. I forgot to mention I am not considering a USB adapter either.....sorry....I've been working with computers for years and I am set in my ways....something about USB wireless adapters that I don't like

if you're pushing files across a network all day, then you'll see some issues between wireless and wired.
As far as basic use (downloading, network file sharing, etc) ... these G cards are very good. You won't even see a difference. On my Motorola G, I can still hit download speeds of 700mb, compared to a wired of 740ish.

For internet downloading.... youll be fine with a standard G router.

I'll just pick up some standard G card then.
FYI: It's mostly for browsing the internet and gaming....not transferring shit through the network.
