USB wireless adapter vs PCI wireless adapter

[_Bata_]

Acoording to this post: http://www.pcworld.com/article/243226/the_desktop_wireless_adapter_difference_usb_vs_pci.html

PCI wireless adapter is stronger than an usb one, but i wanted to confirm if this was true. It seems really strange since the PCI adapter will need to be inside a box (pc case), below my desk, on floor level, while my usb adapter would be on top of my desk, not in a box, and a descent high level. So, which is the best?

Yes that article is spot on - PCI cards get a stronger signal, due mainly to the antennae
