    Hello,

    Does this 2005 desktop have wifi capability? Do I need a card? Does it have an internal antennae? Any advice would be great.
    Regards
    Dave

    Yes (PCI, not PCIe), alternatively you can use a USB WLAN dapter.

    €30/40~ generally. Sometimes cheaper but I wouldn't recommend getting one too cheap. A USB extension cable may also be no harm as it will allow you to re-position the USB adaptor to get a better signal. You can get these in any good computer shop/argos also do them etc.
