Wireless NIC


Recommended Posts

So, I'm in the market for a wireless network card. At least I'm assuming that a PCI expansion card is "better" than the USB devices. Does anyone have experience with these or have any suggestions/advice to offer?

Yes, anything USB historically has taken more machine resources than proper bus connected items. It will also add, probably miniscule, latency to your gaming experience - but is is there.

 

In short - go internal card whereever possible.

Hi,

 

I have 2 of these on a laptop and on a desktop:

They r just amazing for the price, they are N (if you use it, I dont) and on Win7 you don t even need drivers, Win7 install in a snap.

 

I couldn t go on internal because my PC is loaded inside, but about resource usage or latency... The difference is latency between wired and wireless, but I do not believe there would be any difference between this USB and an internal PCI
