Best and Cheapest 'N' card

[Royal Fleet]

I have recently set up a HTPC in the lounge. This is some distance from the main house PC, so I have gone wireless. I have a Netgear WNR854T 300Mbps RangeMax NEXT router which has draft N spec included.

To get me up and running I went for a standard network card, which I figured would be quick enough for the small amount of browsing done on the HTPC.

What I had not figured in is the file transfer speed between PC's which means that it takes about an hour to transfer a Gig of data.

I figure therefore I need to bump up the wireless card in the HTPC.

Anyone any recommendations. Not bothered if it is internal or USB.

It is wireless, I meant the usual b/g stuff that is cheap as chips.

Having done some further reading on this, I am not sure that the issue is not actually related to network problems with file transfers under Vista, than the card. I am going to test by downloading straight from the net, and also by benchmarking against my laptop, which is also wireless.
