Comments about Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter for Desktop Computers:
Had an older HP and wanted to give it an update. That included a change to wireless(802.11 G.) Chose this one because it had fewer bad reviews than most and looked to be entirely compatable with the inner workings of my machine (size & interconnects.) It came, I installed HD/SW and it worked beautifully and the machine now provides wireless internet.

Linksys/Cisco is the best. This works great. Even tho I did and sliced the metal, don't buy to add to a low profile port unless experienced. Buy for a normal size port and its EASY and PERFECT !!
