Is it worth it to have wifi built-in the mother board?

Is it worth it to have wifi built-in the mother board? or Would the wifi feature run fast enough? This is just general question. Asus & Gigabyte make wifi built in motherboards. I wonder if this feature is useful at all. Is this how laptop connect to desktop PC by wifi to access the net?


Would an independent Wi-fi card have higher speed than buit-in version?

For current utilization, yes it worth it.

Since manufacturers are enchancing and advancing the abilities of wi-fi, someday you'll need to buy another standard of wi-fi.
Currently, manufacturers producing 802.11b/g standard. But they are not finish yet, they are developing another standard, 802.11n which imo, will out in the market next year.

Well its a great idea sense i always run out of pci slots specially with the new sli boards. BUT all the good overclocking boards dont have Wifi in them. So i just choose my trust worthy cat5e cable.

And no asus is not a good overclocking brand there vcore is limited to 1.5v on my board im rather disapointed about that.

Personally, I feel that none of the wifi standards at present have enough security built in to warrant allowing one IN my PC. I do have a wireless access point with a router and FW, so I can allow my wife to share my adsl connection, and the occasional guest.

wifi 'n' standard is at present a real mess.... Many horror stories of bandwidth interference...

Besides, unless you live in a completely wifi integrated area, what's the point?
