Funny thing about the USB vs PCI wireless adapters. On the computer I have the Linksys USB adapter on right now, the reason I am using USB is I didn't have much luck with the PCI adapter. That was a D-Link DWL-520 rev E PCI with the air utility (ugh). It would work but would always register a low connection. It didn't matter if I used the D-link controls or let windows wireless zero control it. I even bought a seperate omni directional antenna for it to see if it would help or if I could get better response by moving the antenna, still no change. Out of D-Link or windows it seemed that the windows control got a bit better connectivity and was not as prone to losing all cionnection so I left it that way though it was still a low to very low signal. Then I decided to hook up the Netgear MA101 USB adapter and it worked at full connection strength all the time, so that's the way it stayed. When I upgraded to a wireless G system, I was still gun shy about putting a PCI card back on this computer. Especially since we bought a new computer desk which keeps the PC in a smaller cinfined area. Not completely closed, but a tighet space. I do have a Microsoft (oh no) MN730 PCI adapter that I might install just to see, but I didn't even know microsoft made LAN equipment so I have no idea what to expect.
Anyone ever try Microsofts wireless hook up's.

Maybe I should get with my neighbors and we'll all kick in and buy the Linksys WRT54GX and we can power up the whole apartment building. I don't know if I want to replace all my phones though.
