Wireless Card for Windows 7
Hey I'm trying out windows 7 on my old Dell Dimension 5100 and need a compatible wireless card that doesn't cost that much. Thanks.

Have you tried installing drivers for the card, I would try the Vista version, in either 32 bit, or 64 bit. Depending on which version of Win7 you are using. Also make sure your Wi-Fi is enabled, any drivers I needed for my HP laptop I used the Vista 64 bit versions.

I'm just looking for a card to buy not why one isn't working. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'm partial to the linksys brand,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...10139&name=PCI The Speedboost will only work if you have a Speedboost router, but any of the linked cards will work. |
