yeah i just got an amazing gaming rig running 64bit vista (dual booted with ubuntu linux) but i need some wifi as my really old crappy usb wifi adapter has bitten the dust... (it only worked with 32 bit but i cant even use it with linux anymore) well yesterday was my birthday and i turned 16 and my parents said for one of my birthday gifts i could pick out a wireless pci card for my beast... one problem... finding a decent card that is compatible and has internet worthing of gaming's taxing internet needs. so here are two i have found after hours of searching :angry: do you guys recommend either of them? i'm in my basement in my room about 20ft. or less from the router.. here is contender one on newegg its a single antena d-link wireless pci card thats supposedly compatible with vista (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127075) there is link one... here is link two, I'm not very confident in this one but we'll see :undecided: here is the link for it option 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Super-802-11BG-Wireless-Compliant-Turbo/dp/B000M5U9GI)


now my question to you. you think either of these will work for my online gaming? (battlefield 2142, unreal tournament 3, and others) also i need it to be good for downloading as im constantly downloading stuff lol. so if you think either of these work or have any suggestions for me let me know.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!:thumbsup:
