Areet!

I'm currently half way through setting up a new system and was wondering what would be the best wireless solution for it... would it be best to go with the usb stick adapter or an actual pci card? Also I will probably be getting Vista 64bit.. so it will need to be compatible.

Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

I found USB Adaptors to be a bit "lossy" in my place, and that was because of the positionings of the hardware.

If you can get a PCI Card with an antenna that can be raised up a bit, you will get better connectivity.

If you were going to use a USB dongle it would also be worth buying a USB extension cable so you can get it at least a metre away from the PC.
