Abit AirPace 54Mbps Wi-Fi PCI-E Card Review

Sidney · 8th August 2007, 02:34

Although wired networks are still faster and more secure, the wireless standard is now mainstream. What was once only found in Starbucks is now everywhere. Entire cities are even taking initiatives to offer wireless networking. London, for example, is providing over 20 miles of Wi-Fi coverage. So it comes as no surprise that residential areas are becoming more and more populated with these networks. After all, the speeds are good enough for gaming and sufficient for the majority of downloads. The most common adapter type is USB. It's easy to set up, it's portable, and it takes up another valuable port. For desktop systems it's a bit of a waste. Today we'll be looking at Abit's AirPace, a PCI-E based card.
