Should I get a wireless card or a wireless usb adapter for my PC?
I just built a new computer with an Intel Core 2 quad, a DFI Blood-Iron motherboard, and a MSI 8800 video card. I need to get a wireless adapter to pick up wireless N signal. I’m trying to decide whether I should buy a wireless card to install in my desktop or just get a wireless usb adapter. What is the difference, if any, and what are the pros and cons of each?

They will work the same, but the card in the case is going to be more physically durable and will generally get better signal due to a larger antenna..
