    I need a recommendation for a wireless USB adaptor (802.11 g) for use with a new desktop that's running Vista.

    Needs to be robust, fast, and (obviously) Vista compliant.

    Prefer to be able to pick up at local big box store.

    Thanks!

    wireless pci adapters are usually faster and have better range. do you have an open pci slot?
