I prefer PCI, but overall I don't like USB for much.

Hmm. No really online gaming. Just downloads and linux gentoo updates. So nothing too major.

PCI

Yap, If the PCI has no replaceable antenna, it sit a10" from the floor between the metal tower case and the wall in a room that is 30 feet away it is a very Good choice?????????????? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Alternatively, if it has replaceable Antenna and the OP would have to pay $30 more for a coax and better Antenna it is Very Good choice too???????????? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

On the other end if every thing is in the same room would make more sense to shop by price coz USB, PCI, or a two cans string telephone, all would work.:thumbsup:

My experience with one of those cheap $30 Airlink USB to wifi adapters is that they may drop the connection once or twice a day even if the signal quality's good. If you're using them in a machine with USB 1.1 ports, they'll rob your bus of some bandwidth... as example, a high end U160 SCSI hard drive gets its interface transfer rate reduced from 105 to 80MB/sec, while an older ATA/33 drive goes from 29 to 21MB/sec.
