What would be better for a WiFi N Laptop adapter, a USB 2.0 plug or a PCI Card. is either faster than the other?

Examples:

The PCI card should be better.

PCI, Most likely better connection, AND will stay in better ;)
Plus The PCI is a Range Booster

That was what I was thinking, and those were examples, possibly not the ones I would get.

Tnak you all for your input, and verifying my thoughts :)

*Pcmcia

Speed shouldn't really be an issue between the two. The PCMCIA card will fit into the laptop better were as a usb adapter will stick out like a sore thumb and of course take up a usb port. Not sure how many you have so you might not want to waste any (although that can always be expanded with a hub) My laptop has only one because it's kind of old.

:p Just don't let a cat knock it off a table and break it... I should have skinned that cat.:shakehead:
