 )Anyways, since I don't know if I will live in this apartment more than one year, I don't want to spend $150 on this, so I'm thinking of buying a wireless card. The question is, should I get PCI or USB? I will be using it for downloading tv series and playing SC2. I've heard that USB is just as stable as PCI, but can that really be true? I have no idea, so please enlighten me    | ||

If you are content with wireless then just get a pretty cheap usb one... I've used those before. | ||

Here's an $8 PCI one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156107 They even have them in usb ($15) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156133 If you have the option of having wired internet, by all means take advantage over it. It's more stable, and you get your full output. However, this doesn't mean wireless is necessarily a bad choice either if you happen to like wireless better. As for PCI vs USB on wireless adapters, I prefer PCI because it doesn't take up any USB ports (important if you have a small number of USB ports). I would choose usb if you intend to use it on multiple computers. Functionality wise, they perform similarly so you don't really need to take that into account. | ||
