Some questions for getting a PCI-E Wifi card

Last response: in Wireless Networking

Down in the basement I have a computer but I don't have any internet access down there. Our router is upstairs in the office so if I wanted to get the internet on that computer I would have to get a wireless PCI-E card. I guess my main problem is I don't know much about them so I have a couple questions.

1) First of all who are some good manufactures of PCI-E wireless cards?

2) What exact things should I look for when buying a card?

3) I see some have one antenna and some have up to three how much does that matter?

Ok thanks. I really like that card you listed in your first post. My only other question is does interface matter in speed. Will a wifi card be faster in a PCI-e slot as opposed to an older PCI or mini PCI slot or USB? I guess what I'm comparing it to is video cards. If you're installing a video card you want to use PCI-e becuase it's faster than the old PCI. So would the interface make a difference in speed?
