Any particular reason you want to use up a PCI slot in your PC when a USB wireless G dongle can do the same thing and not take up a slot? A dongle generally comes with a base that it fits into and allows about 6' or cable to find the best coverage with the PCI card it's not that flexible.

Have not used many Netgear products but those I have installed have worked very well.
