Minimum System Requirements

I am looking to put an old Pentium MMX, Win 98SE desktop in my daughter's
room with a wireless PCI adapter to connect to the home network. Is there a
minimum system requiremement for wireless? It works well enough on a wired
network.


Thanks,

Ian

If the wireless adapter you purchase says its supports win98, you should be
ok. . A lot of cards you buy have outdated drivers so check the manufactures
web site for the latest updates.

Ian,

I put a Netgear PCI adapter card in my daughter's Gateway 300mhz PC with
Win98 First Edition. It works great with my Linksys wireless router. It even
handles WEP encryption with no problem.
