Wireless Internet?!?

[hondaf17]

Ok guys,

I've got this motherboard - Epox NP+3 Ultra socket 939

Link to Mobo

I'm moving into a new house, and rather than run wires everywhere figured it would be time to go wireless. BUT, I know NOTHING about wireless. Looking at the specs from that Mobo it seems it does not have internal wireless connection. The house is only two stories, but the connection will have to be able to run from the main floor into the basement, as well as through several walls to separate bedrooms/offices. So, what is the BEST way to go for wireless? What kind of adapter do I need to buy for my PC, and what kind of router? At most there would be 2-3 PC's connected at a time. I'm getting Comcast 8MB/sec cable internet.

Thanks in advance for all of the help!
