PCI will be much better, but tell me, do you plan on downloading anything directly from the school server? Cause I can link you to a 108mbs card, or if this will just be for internet and games then a 54mbs card. Ohh yeah, is the wireless network G, B, or N?

My suggestion, as usual, get a wireless access point. Costs a little more, but it works so much more easily, works perfectly on anything with an ethernet port, can be hooked up to a hub for say a 360 and a PC to access the wireless network, and the range is better.

I actually have that exact card. Never used it much thought, as I use the WAPs for everything. It has Linux drivers, and apparently is good. The separate Antenna is always nice too.

But seriously, WAPs are better.
