Network Adaptor Card versus USB Network Adaptor
Is the Card faster than the USB adaptor? I know the card is cheaper,
probably because installation is a little trickier, but what about performance? Thanks! Maureen |

If you are talking about a wireless card, then performance won't matter between internal PCI card and USB 'dongle' - both interfaces are way faster than any wireless device (assuming USB2). I have an internal PCI card, but actually prefer USB as you can move it between machines and you can put it on the end of a USB extension cable, so the reception is not obstructed by the metal case on the PC. If you are talking about a wired network adaptor, then I haven't seen and USB ones, so can't comment. |

The USB one are somewhat delicate and can be easily damaged, but they are more convenient to install. |
