Default Wireless Range Problem

I have a Hewlett Packard Pavillion PC m8000 desktop computer. I don't really know what my wireless LAN card is but it says i connect using a "USB wireless 802.11b/g". The problem is that when i set up my internet and connect to the router it works when i'm in the same room as it but not perfectly. It cuts out occaisionally. But when i move it into the next room about 10 feet away it stops working altogether.

Does anyone have any clue why this could be?

Some other specs are:
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5200
2.6GHz
2048MB memory

A lot of times the wireless that's built in is junk, have you had problems with it prior to this? I'd certainly recommend getting a pci wireless adapter.

My laptop doesn't struggle with it. I pick it up fine. It's just my sisters desktop that struggles with it. Can you recommend any good PCI adapters then please?

Certainly, below is the highest rated wifi adapter on newegg. I personally use it, and have no issues at all. It does work with vista.
