Wow Paul.... thanks so much!!!

I'm also gonna need a wireless PCI card for the
desktop.

Would like to go ahead and get an N card I think

any advice on brand/model card to get from NewEgg?

Or is N still over kill? If yes... what lower spec card
from NewEgg?

Do you already have a wireless router ? What is the planned
setup ?

"N" here, certainly has advantages possible with its usage,
but I wonder how many of those would still exist in a
congested situation (like an apartment building). If the
protocol requires dropping back to less greedy settings,
when there are a lot of other wireless lans in the vicinity,
maybe there isn't quite as much advantage.

I get the impression sometimes, that "N" is like a part of
a "wireless arms race" :-)

If you buy "N" now, it would be Draft N, and I understand
that sometimes, if you mix brands of components, they
end up using less aggressive settings (20 MHz channel). I'd try
reading the Newegg reviews, to see what kind of reported
thruput they were getting, when mixing different brands,
or staying within the same brand, for the components.

I like wires myself, because their behavior is more
predictable. I haven't even tried any wireless yet.
