Hi there!
Right now, I'm moving my PC to another room where a cable is a no-go.
So I've been looking at various ways to get WiFi to work properly. The way I'd like the thing done is with an internet WiFi receiver.
I've found the following cards at my local supplier (since I need the thing asap):
GIGABYTE GC-WB300D, cost: around 31€. PCI-E
This one I kinda like since it has bluetooth 4 in there. Though I never really use BT on my PC, it would be a cool feature.
Dlink DWA-525, cost: 25€. PCI
I'm not really sure about this one. Adding 6€ would get me something way better, but it is PCI and not PCI-E. This could free up the PCI-E slots for my GPU to run, as I'm kind of afraid of PCI-E cards bottlenecking my GPU.
Linksys WMP600N, cost: 45€. PCI
Again a PCI card but this one is a bit expensive for my taste. It's way too speedy but if the cheap one is way too slow I'll have to go with this one.
The speeds don't really matter since my internet can rarely get to 800 kB/s (that's Bytes, not bits). I'm mostly worried about the bottleneck for the GPU.
So what do you all think? Will I get any bottlenecking from the PCI-E card and if yes, which of the two PCI cards should I choose?
Thanks for all the replies!
