    Hey,
    Gonna get a wireless connect for my pc and was just wondering would I be better off getting a PCI for signal or does it make any difference?

    Up to recently I wasn't a great fan of the usbs on the basis of the nuisance value of them sticking out of a pc - however I recently was glad to discover that when used with a usb extension cord they can provide an extra bit of flexibility when it comes to positioning for picking up the wireless signal. Also they save you having to open the pc for installation.

    You pays your money I guess:)

    USB keys are known to be less reliable. i dunno, i only ever used the PCI ones. if you have a dodgy signal just buy a separate antenna with a wire stuck on to it
