Is It Possible To Use A Wireless PC Card On A Desktop?
I have a Wireless PC Card which I was going to use on a laptop but decided I didn't want it. So now I want to setup a wireless connection on my desktop. I was wondering if the Wireless PC Card would fit in to my Desktop. If so where?

- If this is a PCMCIA card then NO. You can get a wireless usb adapter whcih simply plugs into the usb port on a pc for a wireless connection. Have seen these for around 40 dollars or so.
- no there is not ...because there made only for laptops (sorry)
- You will need to get online to computer manufacturer's website or get out your Users Guide. I can't imagine why you'd want to though, as you won't likely be wanting to carry around a monitor and keyboard. Perhaps I didn't understand your question?
- no, this won't work as the right connection does not exist, you can get a USB adapter that just slots in the back how ever just by one
- PCMCIA cards don't generally fit into a Desktop. They are intended for laptops. You are better off buying a network card and putting it into your desktop. ---------------------------------------------------------------- You are better off putting your router near your computer and wiring your computer to the router. This requires that you have router that accepts wired and wireless. (Assuming you'll still want to hook up your laptop wirelessly).
- hey! Yeppie!! With this .... desktop computer users can enjoy the same PCMCIA functionality that a laptop PC provides. Installing this PCI-to-PCMCIA controller card drives to a desktop PC is the most economical method to add a standard PCMCIA CardBus PC Card slot to the back panel of a desktop computer. [If you prefer a PC Card slot on the front panel of a desktop computer, render inserting or removing PCMCIA PC cards much more convenient, With this product, a desktop computer can do what a laptop computer does!

- If its not pci then you need to buy a PCI to PCMCIA CardBus Adapter Controller Card like this on, for around $30 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2984821&Sku=M501-1306&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE
