Man, I was hoping to spend like $10 since these are just some extra internet computers for around the house!

i just did a quick googling of that model number, shows up as a Pentium III class computer. I'd be hesitant to use a USB wireless adapter, becasue that unit probably does not have usb 2.0. i have had problems with usb 1.1 and usb wireless adapters. I could be wrong, but i dont think you can get anything above wireless B working without USB 2.0. |

If not I guess I should go with the card, right? --- Quote from: Ken Layton on September 20, 2009, 01:15:12 pm ---This card by LinkSys is frequently on sale at MCM Electronics for around $10 to $12: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/CISCO-SYSTEMS-WPC54GR-/58-12640 --- End quote --- Thanks! This is what I had in mind - I'll have to keep an eye for for a price drop. |
