Wireless is the way to go if the PC's are in different rooms and you don't want to run an ehternet cable on the floor.

It would certainly be worth it, and Linksys is good equipment. Maybe the best.

That pci card is fine but don't use a usb router. Buy the WRT54GL instead. It's a little more money but well worth the investment for trouble free operation. Only one pc needs the wireless. The other will connect via ethernet cable directly to the router. You just need to make sure it has an ethernet port (nic) onboard or pci.
