Wireless Setup Help

Alright I have a question about setting up wireless internet for my Gaming PC Build I will finish later this summer. Now I want to set up a wireless connection that is about 50-80 FT above where I am now where my new Gaming Computer will be. I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband router ver. 6 with 2.4GHz and 54mbps. I need a Wireless network PCI Card or USB card so that I can access the internet on that computer. I have been looking at Cards and USB Devices for this and these are some that I have found that I "think" will work with my router and have a good, soild, and fast connection when I am playing online games.

Product #1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833166038

Product #2: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...486&CatId=2688

Those are the two I am deciding upon right now. I leaning towards the Rosewill because i have never really heard of Sabrent and also because it is cheaper. I need something that is compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit like those two are.

If anyone can help me or give me some ideas on what to get and do that would be great.

Thank you.

Get a matching Linksys WMP54G for best results. A "N" adapter will do nothing for you without a "N" router.

Go for the combo deal with the high gain antenna. It's worth it.

I saw that one two but... I don't think it works with Vista even though it says Vista Certified the System Req. doesn't say Vista nor does it say Vista 32 or 64 bit when I'm getting a 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium.
