There are also Wireless adapters that plug into your USB port if you don't have a spare PCI slot, or if you don't want to crack open your computer case.

You have to open your computer and plug it into a PCI slot on your motherboard. The antenna sticks out the back of your computer and communicates with a wireless router.

You plug it into the USB port on your computer. Some of these have cables that allow you to move the actual adapter/antenna around.
If the deskstop memory is faster than the mobo memory, doesn't the desktop memory speed get "downgraded" so it matches the mobo one? While it would work, wouldn't it be cheaper to get a speed that matches both?
OMG, best deal ever. I need a 4300. Too bad it's only in Dulles![]()

Hey lady, I need a yank! Ha ha, dislocation.
They work with every computer with an usb connection or a pci slot. Pci has almost every computer, so I'm sure it works on almost every computer.
If you have Linux, prepare yourself for a hell to get it to work...
I made a new script, check it out!.
I wouldn't trust a bull site like Fatwallet...I'd only go from a retailer store like Circuit City/Best Buy or Newegg.
Any computer? Awesome
So you put it into the USB port (If it's a USB adapter) and it'll say that new hardware was detected. Then it'll give you an option to use that adapter?
Yes, but be sure to read the manual. Sometimes you need to install the drivers first before connecting it.

Alrighty, thanks![]()
And another small piece of advice: With wireless, newer is almost always better. (To an extent, of course. Not January 2007 < February 2007; more like 2005 < 2007)
I recently purchased a 30$ wireless (g) PCMIA (or w/e they're called nowadays) card. It was from a pretty well known company, but it was made back in 2005. That card turned out to be very unreliable, with low connection speeds and little range. When I got fed up with it, I went out to Circuit City and bought a new Netgear (my router is a netgear; if you match router + adapter, things go faster) wireless card. It works like a charm; enough range to get across my house, and fast enough that I can browse the web without falling asleep in between page loads.
