Ok so I lost my CD for my d-link card, and all the newest drivers I found online make my system crash (some kind o fhardware conflict), so I'm in the market for a newer (faster) card. This card is only 54MBps, I'm looking for at least 108.

So far I've done some poking and found these:

Belkin F5D8053 USB 2.0 Wireless N Adapter - 300Mbps, 802.11n (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3173666&CatId=2692)

D-Link DWA-542 PCI Wireless Network Adapter - 300Mbps, 802.11n (Draft N) with RangeBooster (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2563517&CatId=2692)

TRENDnet TEW-623PI PCI Wireless Adapter - 300Mbps, 802.11n (Draft N) (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2526192&CatId=2692)

What do you guys think? Any other opinions?

thanks for the find, but I already ordered up the Belkin one :up:

The reviews were good, and I like how its got a 4' USB cable so I can put the antenna pretty much anywhere
