    Well on the computer I will be building, I wont be able to practically bring a ethernet cable to where the computer will be located. So Its gonna be wireless.

    Simple right? Problem is the PCI x16 slot on my mobo will already be taken up by my video card. So I need a wireless G adapter that uses something besides PCI x16. I'll be gaming on this computer, so I need something that wont go about dropped the signal.

    I have open USB ports, ethernet port, and and PCI x1 slot.

    Find me a good adapter and I'll give ya 30 creds.

    G is backwards compatable with B.

    G should be good enough, its a good steady link to your router.
