I'm gonna go wireless with my desktop, and I've narrowed it down the the Linksys WMP54GS and the D-Link DWL-G520

The D-link is 5 bucks cheaper (which really doesn't matter to me), but the linksys says its speedbooster technology is compatible with all other wireless devices (linksys or otherwise). I'll be connecting this computer to a netgear WGR-614 for the most part, and when I got home, it'll be connected to a D-link D-Link DI-624. Which wireless PCI card would serve me better? I've read what little specs each provides, but I'd appreciate any input on how they actually perform

match the pci and router brands. so if you get a wireless linksys router, get a wireless linksys pci card.

right, but the netgear pci wireless cards aren't that great. Like I said, I've got a D-link at my other less used location. the linksys one states that it works well with any other brands, but i'm not sure if it's as fast as the extreme G that d-link produces. any other input on which card performs better?

I'd just grab the cheaper one I doubt theres that big of a performance issue between them.
