Customer Reviews

Beats out the competition for XP compliant Wireless PCI cards
I had nothing but trouble with the Netgear wireless PCI card (NETGEAR WG311 Wireless-G PCI Adapter) that came with my XP PC. It kept locking up my PC at the worst possible times, and nothing I tried, even with the help of Netgear's tech support, was able to eliminate the problem. An attempted Trendnet replacement (Trendnet TEW423PI 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless PCI) was worse; I couldn't even get any driver to load. In contrast, this MSI Turbo mode wireless PCI card has worked like a charm and with its little separate antenna gets a much better signal from my wireless router. This is an inexpensive wireless PCI card that is compatible with my XP PC system and that instantly resolved my PC's locking-up problem.

It works!
I bought this because my crappy D-link wireless pci adapter was dying only after about 6 months into use. It was dropping connections every 10 minutes or so. Now after I plug this in, I get at least 4 bars compared to average 2-3 bars i used to get with d-link. I saw some users complain about the short antenna. Yes it is pretty short but long enough to get on top of the computer and that alone can make whole lot of difference. Otherwise spend little more money and get more expensive ones. For this price, this one is a steal. Also to anyone who bought/will buy this item. Do yourself a favor, dont use the crappy driver that comes with it. Go to ralink website and download their reference driver.

Flawless install on Vista and runs beautifully
I recently upgraded my old Dell computer to Vista and needed to add a wireless card to it as it was going to be moved away from the main router. This card seemed to have good reviews although I wasn't sure if it worked with Vista. But installation was fast and easy, the card was recognized and I was connected to my wifi router in no time at all. I liked that this had a little antennae that you could move up to the top of your desk to get a better signal, but the cord on it is pretty short and really only long enough for it to sit on top of the tower case. Which seems to work fine for me, I have a good strong steady signal and have had no problems at all with this card dropping connections, etc. Now if I could just get Vista to behave when it comes to networking, I'd be all set!
