OTOH (I not only have 5 fingers, but) one disadvantage of PCI cards is their
possibly bad orientation. Their antennae are hidden behind a metal box in a
corner, which may impede reception. With a USB dongle, you can plug it into
an extension cable and then position wherever it=E2=80=99s best suited.

If your network speed is so great and CPU is so weak that it=E2=80=99s beco=
ming a
performance drain, then that=E2=80=99s another pair o=E2=80=99shoes.
