What type of wireless internet card should I purchase for my Sony Vaio?
It is an older laptop, Model # PCG-9211, I got it from a friend but have not used it yet. It has Windows XP and I would like to use it as a secondary computer for working on projects for work and school. Not looking for anything advanced, but my father will soon be purchasing a router to hook up to my 5 meg service so I might as well. I prefer to purchase one from Best Buy so im looking for suggestions. Wireless card or should I get one of the USB ones? Thanks in advance.

- pcmcia and usb wireless adapters will work just as well as another. Which would be more convenient? A usb adapter will protrude from your laptop giving it a bit of a larger "footprint" whereas a pcmcia card will not. But eitherway, it's no big deal. The bus speed of both USB and PCMCIA is fine. just make sure to get one that supports the wireless standard that your router is. a/b/g or N.
- pcmcia or usb will both do as long as it is compatible to the router. Just think of price comparison, space utilized, if your th on the go type user etc. but either will workk fine. Hope this helps
