    Wireless network card
    « on: July 06, 2013, 09:22:38 AM »
    Hello

    I am hoping to buy a wireless network card and wonder what details I need to give in to the shop when I buy the card.

    It's a an XP desktop.

    I have taken the casing off the tower and can see that there is a spare slot.

    Thanks.

    Depends which slots are available...
    More info on the machine...
    They are made for both PCI and PCIe slots.

      Thank you for replying.

      I have taken a couple of photos - I think it's an ASUS motherboard.

      I am attaching a couple of photos - hopefully you can work out what's what.

      You'll need a PCI wireless card, make sure they don't give you a PCI-E aka PCI-Express one by mistake as they're newer and won't fit.
