Anyone have any idea if this is any good?

Buy.com has it for $42.34 with free shipping. They claim the free shipping takes 7 - 21 days. My experience has been 6 calender days shipping. I have the card and it's a good one.

I have a couple of these - both seem to work well. I got them for $36/each shipped at Amazon with the $5 coupon they have a little while back (you know where to look for the coupon, please no pms, because I don't even know what it is anymore). You can still get it through this link:

There are actually two links that have to the smc usb wireless adapter. The link you get if you search the site is one for $49, but you can find this one if you search "manually." Gateway.com also has it for $41 shipped, but this is a better deal with the coupon.

I'm using it right now as well. For web surfing it's fine, however I'm having some issues in games. More specifically, I've been playing Diablo 2 with it and it seems to have lag spikes. In addition, the connection dies every once in awhile and I need to rescan to pick up the Access Point again. Any of you fellas use this adapter with games and what are your experience with it and wireless in general for gaming?

It has been working fine with both surfing and gaming, although I haven't put it to a heavy test yet. The application that came with it was pretty cool, how you can scan for active networks and gauge their quality.
