Re: usb wireless adapters

Nothing to stop you buying a PCI wireless card and fitting it yourself.
Less load on the USB subsystem (so other USB devices should work marginally
faster) and it would free up a USB slot. These are good:

However, the USB adapter offered should work well.

I was considering buying a dell desktop for my wife. They don't seem to
have
an option to purchase with a wireless card installed, but instead offer a
usb
2 wireless adapter. Would this be as good?
Thanks for any advice, from a mac user (sorry!)
