Hi all.
I recently brought a new machine [link] to get rid of the bottleneck P4 experience I've been suffering
[Datasheet]
I had a £100 budget and so i'm left with £30, and I want to get a desktop wireless adapter (IE one that is plugged into the motherboard rather than a usb port) with the intention of getting a stronger faster, more reliable signal.
The machine will already have 2 slots used, a 8800GT using a PCI-E slot and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS using a PCI slot
From this i'm guessing the Wifi card will have to be either a PCI 32bit from one of the 3 slots left, or a PCI Express but i'm not sure which type since i'm not sure the type of the graphics card.
If anyone could help me with my decision it would be a greatly appreciated
