hey everyone

im looking for a wireless adapter card, which can be pci internal (its probably cheaper that way) and that is of decent quality

the data rate does not need to be anything great, i just want to get something that wont break in 2 days (or a year or two for that matter lol). The card will be used only for internet.

I was looking on newegg and saw that they had cards with good reviews in the 15-20USD range. Is this what i should be looking at, or is that just asking for trouble.

For example, a card like this one, an MSI wireless g

Also, the card will remain within about 30-40 feet of the wireless router, which is a linksys wireless g 54mbps router.

thanks in advance for the help
