Buy the cheap one, then I'll let you know how to turn the speed up. Ya gotta have a mini-screwdriver set though.

USB or PCMCIA or PC-Express?
Netgear makes all of the above.

Apologies.
Just get a couple of tin cans and some string. Tie one can to your PC and the other to the Internet.

Does the tin can have to be the same diameter as the internet tube?

Remove the 5.25 floppy drive before doing the internal install.

I learned a long time ago that no matter which brand you pick 80% of the people have good luck with it and 20% hate it.
I'm a linksys fan myself.

I used to use Netgear until I had 2 NIC's and a wireless router fail. Now I use Linksys and haven't had any problems.
