Best USB Wifi B/G adapter

I am looking for the best USB wifi b/g adapter for my computers. I want an USB card, so I can swap it between 3 computers, but I also want a wifi adapter where I can upgrade the antennae if I choose to do so. Most USB adapters I see do not have that option. Anyone know of one?
 
the Buffalo USB adapters have an antenna connector, I have one and Fed Ex just delivered the Antenna about 30 minutes ago. uses the MC connector, so you will have a hard hard time finding an antenna if you get their adapter. Hawking has a USB adapter with a built in hi-gain directional antenna (6.5dbi I think) if that helps.

I dunno if it's the distance, or just interference, but since I've hooked up this antenna, my signal isn't getting any better, and the antenna is supposed to be 6.5dbi.

*edit* update, maybe the antenna does work, I guess my connection is staying connected longer, I expect better results because it's still dropping packets.

linky is their web site, will be pretty expensive if you plan on getting an external antenna too. I think I paid about 60 for the adapter and 35 for the antenna. Check the hawking, it's around $65 and supposed to be pretty good.
