| Re: Which Network Card? The best G wireless card is the usr5417 by Us Robotics. Vistax64 has drivers built in, plus the driver that comes with the card works better by some reports. $49 at Tiger Direct, $29 after rebate. If you are thinking of 300N the only way to go is the Airlink 300N, but you won't be able to use it until SP1 is installed. |

| Re: Which Network Card? I'd stay with linksys but if you are in love with netgear stay with the 54mps. The jazzy cards only work with a matched router. Linksys makes a G with USB hook up that I like a lot. Install the driver and plug it in to an USB slot and your'e good to go. Got its own little aerial on the end of a cord that improves reception if your PC is under your desk or otherwise hidden from the router. |
