thank you!
 
The first link is for a desktop and the second link is for a laptop. When you say you lost the bluetooth are you saying you physically lost the card or it just doesn't work?
 
Are you just meaning wireless card? If so, then any pci express wireless card will work.
 
i think so what's the other Bluetooth method other than wireless? I also might consider installing a wifi card if some are built together with Bluetooth? if not then maybe just the Bluetooth only for now.
 
Well a wireless card only allows the device to get internet. A blue tooth card allows bluetooth devices to share media to the pc.

Some of the adapters are combo cards that support both wifi and bluetooth in one card. If you just need bluetooth, a standard USB bluetooth adapter would be your most cost-effective solution.
 
I've have 2 Bluetooth usb dongles before but they never worked too well with my keyboards. my keyboards will initially connect but once I idle my keyboards it's difficult for the keyboards to reconnect.

One is really convenient and can be used on pretty much any computer, while the other is a PITA to remove the computer's housing and replace which doesn't make it as portable ;)
 
Because some people would rather have an internally connected device instead of a usb device as an internal device would be somewhat quicker then using the usb interface.

Not everyone wants an adapter sticking out of their computer. An advantage of an internal card is that it's always there and always on, without tying up a USB port or sticking out of your computer.
 
ok because that's the reason I wanted to get a integrated Bluetooth card instead was because it's always on because my Bluetooth keyboard always has trouble connecting back to my usb dongle after every time it idles. so does anyone know which Bluetooth card I should get for my motherboard? thanks
