I want to make my desktop wireless and need to know which is better to use, a USB network card or a PCI slot card? Asked by Aaron - Thu Apr 16 23:09:53 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. With a PCI card you have to open the case, but have nothing dangling outside the case. With USB you have a dongle dangling, but do not have to open the case. Which is better or worse is up to you.

Q. Hello I'm new to computers, and seem to have been bitten already by someone selling me a network card which doesn't work with Vista 64 bit (Edimax 7126g). Can anyone recommend a card that DOES work, and works well, in your OWN experience. It's a minefield out there if you don't know your stuff, which I don't. Thank you for any help.
