Windows 7 - Suggest me a...

Can anyone suggest me a High-speed Wireless adapter? Either internal or external, that will be fully compatible with Windows 7 x64

I guess its a long shot, but if anyone has any suggestions, let me know! An By high speed, I just mean to be able to game with relatively low ping, an a decent download. My current card has a DL speed of around 2-3mbps, Whereas with cable its 9mbps and other wireless devices 7-8mbps

Cheers

Been using this since X-mas in my machine, works great in Windows 7, just installed it then popped in the driver cd and it basically instantly worked.

Also works OOTB with Ubuntu.

Erm, I doubt theres any help with my current card, Its a RTL 8185 with correct manufacturer drivers.

An the Intel looks good, Never installed a PCiE card before though, Do they just slot in like PCI cards?

Deffinately think Im going to get one of these, For only £25, if its as good as you say!
Can you post a speedtest with it? Also, Ive seen people talking of antenas in reviews? Where it doesnt seem to have any of that sort of thing in the pictures? An they talk about Laptops an Netbooks, will this be compatilbe with a desktop?

Mine is fitted in a Netbook, which is elsewhere right now. I specifically stated 'mini PCiE card' because this is a device designed for use in a notebook - however, that said, you can probably fit one into a PCiE 1x desktop motherboard slot, although it doesn't come with a backplane or wifi antenna...
