I've been looking for an outa the box XP compatible wireless card for my desktop. Best I could do. :disgust:

Anyone else think this is decent?

seems like a nice deal to me

similar deals are usually "pay $50+ for pcmcia and another $40 for pci adapter"...... this deal is definitely pci only but for the price it looks good....... plus the antennae looks like it might be able to be upgraded which would be excellent!

that is a pretty good price... Here it is on Newegg, second one down in the list:

Dlink pci

you could make a comment to the effect of "what does a fixed desktop/server system need a wireless pci card for when you can run 1 wire to the box and get way better speed"

but i'm not going to bother as i have something very similar, purely for ad-hoc though... 😉

Good question wfay. 🙂

I've got a finished basement which means no access to my floors above for my cable. I've got an Wirelss AP on the 1st floor but wanna put my new desktop in the loft. Get the idea~!? 😀
