    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone recommend a cheap and cheerful PCI wireless network card? It must be windows 7 64x compatible. I have gone through two Belkin wireless USB adapters and am fed up of them constantly dropping connections mid way through gaming/downloading and need something more reliable. :sigh:

    CCL is around the corner from me and I can easily pop in there later today to get what I need.

    Would something like this do the trick for gaming or will I need to spend more?

    Cheers!

    I tried one of those long ago, they were fine.

    I'd always jump on the Airpace++ bandwagon, but the op did specify PCI. :p

    Correct! It wasn't until I had opened up my PC to put the TP-Link card in that I realised I had a PCI-e 1x slot free!

    Ah well! :duh:
