Wireless PCI card... Anything I need to look out for?

Need to buy one for my mother's PC to connect to her wireless router. Never used/had one before. Anything I should watch out for? Anyone recommend one?

Obviously cheaper the better as long as it works well

I assume the PCI ones are better than the USB ones?

i think they are pretty much of a muchness, although I do prefer the usb ones as there a bit more portable if you want to use it in a different machine

OK! I 'd heard the USB ones tended to not be as good? I'll stick to a PCI one for that reason...

I just got the Linksys WUSB300N, paid a lot for it thinking I'd get some quality from it but the software/driver isn't liking my PC so far. Works fine on the laptop.

Bit annoying, so yeah you may be best sticking with PCI
