Wireless

MooMoo444 · 28 Aug 2008 at 16:39

Basically because I have SLI with my board, one of the PCI slots is blocked by big cooler, the only one I have access to at the moment is being kept warm by my wireless networking card.

I want to look into getting a soundcard though, so I would have to see about what to do for wireless. Is it possible to get a USB Wireless Networking adapter or am I imagining things?

If so can someone point me in the direction of a good one? I game online a lot so sudden lag spikes/delay is really annoying.. I dont want something that is prone to this if possible

Wireless USB dongles certainly are available. Depending how good a sound card you want, if you have any spare pci-express slots available I think Creative do a soundcard for pci express slots.

USB wireless is pants compared to a card. Expect problems when you swap to it.

this adaptor http://safecom.cn/code/sub/category.asp?prdid=321&subcatid=41

i know they look crappy, but i'm yet to find a better one.

i get pings of about 5-18 (steady though) in cs

costs £10, and they have drivers from Windows 98, all the way up to XP32,64 Vista32/64, Windows 2008 32/64

never crashed, these are the only ones i buy when we need one in work now
